Voice against Violence
Read the Passage carefully and answer the following Questions:-
Communal riots started in Bengal. Gandhiji raised his voice against violence. Then came the news of bloody riots from Noakhali in East Bengal and from Bihar. Bitter sorrow filled Gandhiji’s heart. Peace was restored in Bihar only when Gandhiji went on partial fast. Now he proceeded to Noakhali. At the age of 77, this man of God went barefooted from village to village, crossing dangerous roads, and bamboo bridges. He worked day and night to plant courage in the hearts of the Hindus and love in the hearts of the Muslims. Thus he lived and suffered for about four months in East Bengal. From there he went to Bihar fearing that the people there might lose their head again. “If ever, you become mad again, you must destroy me first,” he told them.
