"GANDHI THEN WROTE AND SAID....I HAD GREAT ATTACHMENT FOR HIM AND MY FAITH & DEVOTION IN HIM WERE ALSO LIMITLESS. SRIMAD RAJCHANDRA HAS INFLUENCED AND OBLIGED ME A LOT. HE HAS TAUGHT ME THE RELIGION OF MERCY TO LOVE EVEN THE MURDERER....!'
"THUS SRIMAD RAJCHANDRA'S LIFE-LONG INFLUENCE ENABLED GANDHI TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT THE CONCEPT OF NON-VIOLENCE. HE SYNTHESISED THE IDEALS OF THE GITA OF FIGHTING THE INNER & OUTER EVIL FORCES WITH IT. AND THUS HE DERIVED HIS OWN CONCEPT OF NON-VIOLENT WAR OR THE CIVIL-RESISTENCE EXCLUDING THE MEANS OF VIOLENT-WEAPONS FROM THE IDEALS OF THE GITA.....
[Sound of the footsteps pacing outside the tent, showing the soldier-Guards, is often heard in between] "....AND OUT OF THIS CONCEPT, THERE ROSE A GREAT FORCE OF THE TRUTH AND INNERCONSCIENCE IN GANDHI WHICH SHOOK HIM SAYING
"
.....FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT..

.FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT................
FIGHT AGAINST INTERNAL VICES, FIGHT! FIGHT AGAINST EXTERNAL FORCES, FIGHT!
"AND THUS, OUT OF THE TRUTH-SEEKER GREW A WARRIOR IN GANDHI--A WARRIOR WHO FOUGHT WITHOUT USING VIOLENT WEAPONS..........."
[Reacting-]--- Who fought without using violent weapons? How could there be such a warrior? [Effects of Harp and Firings]
A SOLDIER GUARD: [rushing] do you need any thing, sir? MAJOR NO. [puts the book aside and picks up opening another one; "Gandhi-the Warrior"........the Soldier-Guard' watches this and goes away; reads aloud again..].
.GANDHI WAS THE WORLD'S FIRST ANTI-VIOLENCE-WAR WARRIOR'A 'SATYAGRAHI'. HE SHOOK THE GREAT EMPIRE 'WHOSE SUN NEVER USED TO SET ON THE EARTH'. HIS NOVEL FORCE WAS LIKE A GREAT BLOW, LIKE A GREAT BOMB FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE......
