Protest against the Nazis (1934)

To me racial hatred in any form is a creed of barbarism and I cannot recognize the value of any cause in whose name nations and peoples indulge their gluttony of violence. We in India are striving to safeguard our growing spirit of nationalism from this dangerous perversion of racial hatred, and when I see Western nations building their faith on this barbarism and making elaborate preparations for a scientific slaughter, I cannot help feeling proud of my people who, poor as they are and persecuted, yet are unwilling to win human rights through brutish ways.

All my life I have cried against blindness of prejudice that divides man from man and called upon my fellowmen all over globe to stretch their hands in a common endeavour to realize the nobility of the human in each one of us. Today when this most enduring heritage from the truly great ones of all races, is being assaulted by the aggressive communalism of the Blacks and the fanatic materialistic idealism of the Reds on the other, I once again raise my humble voice of protest and warning, however feeble it may have grown with age. In our frantic despair to save the community let us not crush the free individual on the steps of whose sublime heresies humanity has ever been rising upwards.
