Swadeshism is not a cult of hatred. It is a doctrine of selfless service that has its roots in the purest ahimsa, i.e. love.

An India prostrate at the feet of Europe can give no hope to humanity.

What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a "normal" or a common way to react to different things. But that's mostly just all it is.

...service can have no meaning unless one takes pleasure in it. When it is done for show or for fear of public opinion, it stunts the man and crushes his spirit. Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

For me the only certain means of knowing God is nonviolence, ahimsa, love.

For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

Non-co-operation is an attempt to awaken the masses to a sense of their dignity and power.
