For decades, we resisted violence - until Sharpeville.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Violence is the first refuge of the violent.
I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence.
We're not nearly as violent as the westerns.
Until we all start to take responsibility, until we do all we can to improve the character of our communities, we'll never break the cycle of violence and indifference.
The decline of violence isn't a steady inclined plane from an original state of maximal and universal bloodshed. Technology, ideology, and social and cultural changes periodically throw out new forms of violence for humanity to contend with.
We all agreed that violence begets violence, and you can't solve issues with more violence.
I never supported violence. Before the formation of TMC, I was a member of the Congress Party. Gandhi's Congress. Non-violence is a philosophy that runs deep.
The decline of violence is a fractal phenomenon. You can see it over millennia, over centuries, over decades and over years.
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
Mission accomplished, we didn't have any problems as far as violence goes.
