While Mathama Gandhi did say, "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind", he also stressed, "I WOULD risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of a whole race. I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence... I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor." 雖然甘地講過「以眼還眼，會令全世界盲目」，但同時亦道：「我寧願冒險動武一千次，都好過成個民族被人閹咗。我堅信，如果懦弱同武力須擇其一，我會建議武力...我寧願印度同胞拿起武器，捍衛自家榮譽，都好過懦弱無能，屈辱偷生。」（曾焯文譯）
