Satyagraha Volunteers

IT is interesting to notice that the movement of passive resistance in Bombay includes the engagement of a permanent body of volunteers to instruct those desirous of taking the Satyagraha pledge in the great struggle, so that if may be carried on successfully and without any untoward incidents through anger or passion. In the first place they have to make the pledge takers understand the Rowlatt Bill provisions and decide for themselves whether it is harmful. Secondly, they must explain what civil disobedience in its legitimate application means. They must see that passive resisters do not break any moral laws.
