The Art of Non ViolenceAs you watch the scenes of Indians using non

violence and still refusing to follow unjust laws think about the following: Do the English feel threatened by Gandhi’s actions? Are the Indians behaving in a threatening manner? Is there a conflict in the two answers you just gave? What is it? Who do you sympathize with most? How will the international community see the British soldiers? How will the international community view the Indian people? Who seems braver, the soldier or the Indians?
