add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the national movement in India. The fever of nationalism has spread to all classes and all communities. Bankers and mill owners, lawyers and professional men, bazaar traders and mill workers alike have plunged into the struggle with a passionate conviction that the time has come to stake all on winning the coveted prize of liberty. Even the peasant in the villages, those innumerable villages with their intense personality and infinitely stratified local life which are peculiar to India, reacts to the emotional wave that reaches him from the towns. Mahatma Gandhi is no novice in the uses of these unusual weapons.
