Can
there be any relation between the creed of violence and non-violence? The question,
being the most intricate one hitherto, is asked every now and then.
If
you are having the same dilemma also, go through the following lines and do not
forget to learn the Noakhali pogrom against Hindus from October 10, 1946 led by
Muslim radicals.
"Fortunately
for the Hindus, Shivaji and Guru Gobind Singh are not mythical figures buried
in the dusty pages of learned historical treatises; they are living forces
inspiring our daily life. Their footsteps were followed in his humble and
limited sphere by Rajendra Lal Roy Chowdhury, who died a martyr's death in his
village home fighting almost single-handed against thousands of armed
hooligans. His fight in defence of faith and family honour was, in Acharya
Kripalani's significant words, 'the most nearest approach to
non-violence'." - Sucheta Kripalani
Sucheta Kripalani,
born as Sucheta Majimdar, was an eminent freedom fighter and became, later on, the
first woman to be elected as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.
Sucheta Kripalani accompanied Mahatma Gandhi in his mission to Noakhali and witnessed all alone the worst form of racial extermination of Hindus by Muslim fanatics or Hindu persecution there in recorded history.
