About This Quote

Nonviolence simply cannot defend property rights over human rights. In this quote, Gandhi is explaining why the nonviolent approach to obtaining justice is not a sensible way of doing things. In order to achieve justice, you must be willing to face violence. Nonviolence was a way of life for Gandhi and Gandhi’s idea for an independent India was a peaceful one.

However, nonviolence will never stand a chance against a violent revolution that seeks to overthrow the government and take control of the country. Gandhi understood this and he used this quote to encourage Indian people to stand up and fight for their country.
