During the Quit India Movement, Gandhiji undertook a fast. It was supposed to be completely Non-Violent. Mostly it was true, except Rajasthan (where in Chauri-Chaura), a police station was burnt down. This happened in the middle of this so called Non-Violent movement.
The ability to overcome our negative tendencies, may have been harped upon. But, in a different setting (like war), or tragedy ( earthquake or flood or any natural disaster), these very negative tendencies.. probably play an important role, in our return to innocence.. ( from devastating loss.. even). Some call it destiny, but it’s probably pretty real,. To someone like Netaji Bose..
