For every minute that I spin, there is in me the consciousness that I am adding to the nation's wealth.

The state represents violence in a concentrated and organize form.

Hand-spinning is designed to put millions of rupees in the hands of the poor villagers.

Whilst the Bihar calamity damages the body, the calamity brought about by untouchability corrodes the very soul.

Nonviolence is not an easy thing to understand, still less to practice, weak as we are.
