Passive resistance of the weak cannot be called Ahimsa. The present outbrust of violence indicates that the techinique of inconquerable nonviolence of the strong is yet to be evolved. My effort is in that direction. |

It is necessary to think about what I have sent today. Gujarati matter need not to be translated. nor it is necessary to do Gujarati or HIndustani from English some Hindustani will have to be rendered into Gujarati. Attempt is being made to send Hindustani (with corrections) as I speak it in my daily speeches. No translation from English to Gujarati necessary.Similarly from Hindustani only the essentials to be taken up. This way Harijan in each kanguage becomes independent and complete.Hindustani articles by sunderlalji. are in sufficient number We should take them up. I have been making him work hard. He knows good Hindustani as is spoken by the people. in Northern India. Gandhiji asks Jivanji whether it will do if he sends the last lot on Wednesday. |

Chhaganlal Gandhi had sent a copy of his article on "Gandhiji and Ruskin" for 'Gandhi Marg' for perusal and remarks. A copy of the same was endorsed to Shri C. N. Patel who returned it with his suggestions. In the article referred to in Shri Chhaganlal's letter, the writer (Shri Chhaganlal Gandhi) writes to show how Gandhiji was inspired by Ruskin's book "Unto This Last". It was in 1904 that Gandhiji happened to read that book in the train while he was travelling from Johannesburg to Durban (South Africa). Later, in 1931, Gandhiji told th Editor of 'Spectator' in London that Ruskin's book impressed him most and that brought about a change in his life. Similarly, Gandhiji had been impressed by Tolstoy's writings also, which he had read earlier. Ruskin had established a society of selfless persons called 'St. George's Guild'. Every person had to agree to follow the rules formulated by Ruskin which he had incorporated in the Deed, which he had drafted. Those contents of that Deed, particulary Rule V, VI, & VII impressed Gandhiji very much. It was in those rules Gandhiji saw the seeds of the principles of "Satya" (Truth), "Ahimsa" (Non-violence) as well as principles of Passive Resistance. There is a note also regarding this in Mahadev Desai's diary dated 1st May 1933. |
