It is not written that a follower of the religion of Ahimsa (non-killing) may kill a fellow-man.

But does every Hindu believe in Ahimsa?

Generally speaking, we may observe that many Hindus partake of meat and are not, therefore, followers of Ahimsa.

It is, therefore, preposterous to suggest that the two cannot live together amicably because the Hindus believe in Ahimsa and the Mahomedans do not.

We seem to understand the words Ahimsa, politics and religion differently.

At the outset let me assure Sir Narayan that I have not changed my views on Ahimsa.

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.

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 or injure him physically.
