Author’s Note — It is sad that most of the people around the world don’t believe in non-violence anymore. They follow only one rule- fight for your survival.

Mahatma Gandhi, A man who told the whole world what non-violence can do. As I always say, “Fight but only for humanity. History has witnessed many wars, humanity won them all. How many wars have been won by violence, the answer is none.”
