Transcript | 120 MAHATMA GANDHI attainment of Parliamentary Swaraj in accordance with the wishes of the people of India. I am not aiming at destroying railways or hospitals, though I would certainly welcome their natural destruction. Neither railways nor hospitals are a test of a high and pure civilization. At least they are a necessary evil. Neither adds one inch to the moral stature of a nation Nor am I aiming at a permanent destruction of law courts, much as I regard it as a consummation devoutly to be wished for. Still Jess am I trying to destroy all machinery and mills. It requires a higher simplicity and renunciation than the people are to-day prepared for. The only part of the programme which is now being carried out in its entirety is that of non-violence. But I regret to have to confess that even that is not being carried out in the spirit of the book. If it were, India would establish Swaraj in a day. Tf India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics, Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet. |
