An awakened people who rely upon their nonviolent strength are independent in the face of any conceivable combination of the armed powers.
Mahatma GandhiI believe that the civilization India evolved is not to be beaten in the world. Nothing can equal the seeds sown by our ancestors, Rome went, Greece shared the same fate; the might of the Pharaohs was broken; Japan has become Westernized; of China nothing can be said; but India is still, somehow or other, sound at the foundation.
