In My Humble Opinion, Non-cooperation With Evil Is As Much A Duty As Is Cooperation With Good. But In The Past, Non-cooperation Has Been Deliberately Expressed In Violence To The Evildoer. I Am Endeavoring To Show My Countrymen That Violent Non-cooperation Only Multiplies Evil And That Evil Can Only Be Sustained By Violence. Withdrawal Of Support Of Evil Requires Complete Abstention From Violence. Non-violence Implies Voluntary Submission To The Penalty For Non-cooperation With Evil.
