For my own part, I do not want the freedom of India if it means extinction of English or the disappearance of Englishmen.

In any case, the fear of subservience is quite imaginary.

Urbanization in India is a slow but sure death for her villages and villagers.

Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.

I am a passionate seeker after truth which is but another name for God.

Nonviolence is the means, the end for everyone is complete independence.

Nonviolence is a plant of slow growth, it grows imperceptibly but surely.
