Gandhi's
Ten Commandments (1928)
|
A caricature in a British journal in 1928 shows the reactions
of a businessman and a politician to the standards Gandhi had
set for his personal conduct. To these hardboiled characters, Gandhi
was an impractical idealist, a view popular in the ruling circles in
Britain.
Writing in Young India the same year, Gandhi declared that his creed
was non-violence "under all circumstances". He explained : "My
method is conversion, not coercion, it is self-suffering, not the
suffering of the tyrant. I know that method to be infallible."
