The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.
Mahatma GandhiPersonally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.
Mahatma GandhiIt is as much our obligation not to cooperate with evil as it is to cooperate with good
