How does non-violence work?
#1)Document D: I cannot intentionally hurt anything that lives much less human beings even though they may do the greatest harm to me and mine.
#2)Document F: In this case the state was far more powerful than we and any attempts at violence by us would be devastatingly crushed. This made nonviolence a practical necessity rather than an option.(new)
#3)Document G: You must not use any violence under circumstances. You will be beaten but you must not resist; you must not even raise a hand to ward off blows.
#4)Document H: We made it clear that we would not send anyone out to demonstrate who had not convinced himself that he could accept and endure violence without retaliating.
#5) Document I: No matter what the authorities did the volunteers could not retailate otherwise they would undermine the value of the entire enterprise. They must respond to violence with nonviolence;discipline must be maintained at all cost.
#6)Document B: I agreed that some protest was necessary and that the boycott method would be an effective one.
#7)Document N: After Time magazine published a cover story on our movement in Febuary 1957 I thought I observed a lessening of tensions and feelings against me and the movement itself.During this period I could hardly go into any town or city in this nation where I was not lavished with hospitality by people of all races and of all creeds.
#8)Movie: During like the beginning of the movie when Gandhi held his first meeting to burn the slips the British gave to the people of India. The police beat him but he still did not fight back and the wardon of the jail end up letting him go.
#9)Movie: During the movie Gandhi continued to persuade his followers to be non violent.
