A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.

A fearless woman who knows that her purity is her best shield can never be dishonoured.

No Swaraj government with any pretension to being a popular government can possibly be organised and maintained on a war-footing.

So long as we fear the outside world, we must cease to think of Swaraj.
