INDIA NOW
Sir-Your leader on non-violence appears very logical if one considers the diverse mentality of different nafions. The letter written by "Remember Amritsar" is also interesting, as the pen name appears to place him in the catagory of those who use the Amritsar incident as a political whipping post, while General Dwyer, not being a visionary, had to choose the lesser of two evils. Circumstances often occur where there is no right way and, of course, as far as one knows, there has never been a perfect human being on earth. It is exceedingly doubtful if nonviolence only has ever succeeded. Would "Remember Amritsar" tell us what he thinks would be the result if Britain withdrew altogether from India? Would the 50,000,000 untouchables and the 70,000,000 Mohammedans be happier under the rule of orthodox* Hindus? Some believe that Mohammedans create incidents to keep the British in India. Whether that is true or not I don’t know. But the freedom that pacifists and conscientious objectors enjoy in British countries helped Germany and Japan
to carry out! their plans.-
