Glad you are taking your goat milk and unboiled. I am not competent to speak regarding neem. Juice Both high blood pressure and piles can be ended by dietary methods. Khadi being a decentralised industry does not require huge capita - Capitalism and not machinery is the real evil. Coal and petroleum are stored up capital while water and Man are income, west lives on its capital; India should wisely lives on its income.

Congratulates him on his non violent behaviour in face of attack. Gandhiji does not see anything wrong in consolidating the Hindus and in joining the HinduSabha by those who believe in its ideals provided the ideals are pure and clear cut. A real satyagrahi, instead of running away from attack and there by avoiding violence, opposes the assult without any violence on his part. Gandhiji opines that he does not think there is any case for boycott of the Muslims. He fears however that if it suits their purpose Government will use to its advantage all organisations including the congress.
