On 30 January 1948, Gandhiwas shot while having his nightly public walk on the grounds of the
Birla Bhavan (Birla House) in New Delhi. Let's read today a few lines
of his thought:
"I accept the interpretation of Ahimsa
namely that it is not merely a negative state of harmlessness but it is
a positive state of love, of doing good even to the evil-doer. But it
does not mean helping the evil-doer to continue the wrong or tolerating
it by passive acquiescence. On the contrary, love, the active state of
Ahimsa, requires you to resist the wrong-doer by dissociating yourself
from him even though it may offend him."
