I think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly.

Of course, under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location.

Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian location should be chosen for dumping down all kaffirs of the town, passes my comprehension.

Facts we would always place before our readers, whether they are palatable or not, and it is by placing them constantly before the public in their nakedness that the misunderstanding between the two communities in South Africa can be removed. That being so, we should fail in our duty if we wrote anything with a view to hurt. We have an abiding faith in the mercy of the Almighty God, and we have firm faith in the British Constitution. We believe in the righteousness of the cause, which it is our privilege to espouse. We want to serve the community, and in our own humble way to serve the Empire.

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. What does it matter that we take different road, so long as we reach the same goal. Religions are different roads converging to the same point. That State is the best governed which is governed the least. The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet. If 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.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
