This article presents the author's views on statesman Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's policy of non-resistance. Gandhi has joined battle with the British Empire for the soul of India. Against this contemporary Goliath, mightiest empire of the day, armed with the resources of science, organization, wealth, and all the enginery of war, there stands forth the slight figure of one single man clad in a loin-cloth, without arms, without wealth, without any of the accouterments of power. Non-violence, passive resistance, has the positive power of truth, of love, impregnable, to all attacks because it fears nothing, not even death.
