In the face of such a government that advocates "civilization" and reasoning, if you are more civilized and humane than him, and if you are preached to the world, and if you prevent him from stepping down, then the goal of the struggle will be achieved. But American photojournalist Margaret Burke White once asked Gandhi whether "non-violence and non-cooperation" is also the best way to fight against the totalitarian dictatorship of the Nazi government? Gandhi's answer was: "When I despair, I remember that in history only truth and love can prevail. There are many tyrants and murderers in history, who may be invincible in the short term, but they will always fail in the end, think about it. Come to think of it, it will always be like this.”
