In the instance you have quoted, however, the President of the Congress is correctly reported. She did advocate a national militia. As a reformer wanting the whole world to accept Non-violence as its final creed, I do not hesitate to appear on platforms where even direct violence may be preached. I no more identify myself with all the violence that goes on in the world being in it. I hold that it is enough if I disassociate myself from every form of violence, mentally and physically, and express my disapproval whenever the occasion requires it. I do not know whether you know that the Congress creed is 'attainment of Swaraj by peaceful and legitimate means'. Violence is therefore eschewed in its entirety in the national programme. But I must at the same time own that it does not mean that on the Congress platform people may not advocate the formation of a national militia for purposes of defence. From my own standpoint, a national militia is not necessary but people who do not believe in Non-violence as their final creed cannot possibly be made non-violent. The spread of non-violence depends upon cultivation of public opinion. Personally, I am satisfied that the spirit is daily growing inspite of appearances to the contrary"
