(London, August 6, 1971)

Our great leader in India, in the later days, he was so much disgusted, because he wanted Hindu-Muslim unity. But the result was that Muslim partisan made a partition, and they took away the Pakistan. He wanted nonviolence, but actually there were so many violences, the Hindu-Muslim riots. During the last days of the British Empire there was furious Hindu-Muslim riots all over India. So his philosophy of nonviolence was frustrated. His philosophy of uniting the Hindus and Muslim, keep one India, that was also frustrated. So we read in the papers that on the very date, morning when he was killed, he was speaking to his secretaries, “I am very much disgusted. I don’t want to live anymore.” And in the evening he was killed. So this is an example. Who can be better karmi and sincere worker for the country, for the society? But he was frustrated. You can take many examples in your European countries: Hitler, Napoleon. They were all frustrated.
