I must rebel against the idea that millions of Indians, who were Hindus, the other day, changed their nationality on adopting Islam as their religion.

A man of prayer regards what are known as physical calamities as divine chastisement.

The restoration of free speech, free association and free press is almost the whole Swaraj.

It is better to be charged with cowardice and weakness than to be guilty of denial of our oath and sin against God.

In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.

I know that man who forsakes Truth can forsake his country and his nearest and dearest ones.
