Mohan-Mala - Mahatma Gandhi

Mohan-MalaSeptember 16India has never waged war against any nation. She has put up sometimes illorganized or half-organized resistance in self-defence pure and simple. She has,therefore, not got to develop the will for peace. She has that in abundancewhether she knows it or not.YI, 4 July 1929September 17I want India to recognize that she has a soul that cannot perish and that canrise triumphant above every physical weakness and defy the physicalcombination of a whole world.YI, 11 Aug. 1920September 18I venture to suggest, in all humility, that if India reaches her destiny throughtruth and non-violence she will have made no small contribution to the worldpeace for which all the nations of the earth are thirsting and she would alsohave, in that case, made some slight return for the help that those nationshave been freely giving to her.YI, 12 March 1921September 19India’s freedom must revolutionize the world’s outlook upon peace and war.Her impotence affects the whole of mankind.YI, 17 Sept. 1925www.mkgandhi.org Page 71
