-As a congressman and a Hindu, I say that I wish to give Muslims what they want. I would like the Muslims to put down whatever they want on a blank sheet of paper and I shall agree to it.-
-To resist Muslim atrocities by hindus using violence and intimation is tantamount to fratricide. Even if Hindus had died to a man, it would have been deliverance of Hinduism and Islam would have been purified in this land. As it was, a third party had to intervene. Neither the Hindus nor the muslims have gained by this intervention. If India has to be an independent nation, one or both must cease to seek British protection. My advice is satyagraha first and satyagraha last !- ( WoW !!!)
-Now you will perhaps understand why I have called Abdul Rashid ( who was indicted for killing Swami Shraddhanand)a brother and I repeat it. I do not even regard him guilty of Swami’s murder. Guilty indeed are those who excited feelings of hatred against one another.-
-The brave and God fearing Moplahs ( Muslims of malabar who massacred more than 2500 hindus in 1921) are fighting for the religion as understood by them by a method they feel that their religion enjoins them to adopt .-
-For the proper conduct of the experiment of non-violence, it does not behoove that both parties believe in non-violence. If both believe so, the success of non violence will not be proved.-
-Such a service ( fighting for the British) would furnish the Indians an opportunity to prove their mettle and disprove the allegations frequently made by the Europeans that they were mostly cowards.-
-Animals are our brethren, lion and tiger included. We don’t know how to live with carnivorous beasts and poisonous reptiles because of our ignorance.-
-If the choice is between cowardice and violence, I would advice violence. I am an opponent of violence even if it is for the noblest of causes.-
-It is sinful to buy and use an article made by sweated labor.-
-The rule should be – No labor, no meal.-
