"Hindus should not harbour anger in their hearts against Muslims even if the latter wanted to destroy them.

Even if the Muslims want to kill us all we should face death bravely.

If they established their rule after killing Hindus we would be ushering in a new world by sacrificing our lives. None should fear death.

Birth and death are inevitable for every human being.

Why should we then rejoice or grieve? If we die with a smile we shall enter into a new life, we shall be ushering in a new India."

— Shri Mhatam Ghandhi Ji
