"Hindus should not harbour anger in their hearts against Muslims even **if the latter wanted to destroy them. **

**Even if the Muslims want to kill us all we should face death bravely. **

If they **established their rule after killing Hindus** we would be ushering in a new world by sacrificing our lives. None should fear death. 

Birth and death are inevitable for every human being. 

Why should we then rejoice or grieve? If we die with a smile we shall enter into a new life, we shall be ushering in a new India."

— **Shri Mhatam** Ghandhi Ji 

'Speech Delivered at a New Delhi prayer meeting on April 6, 1947, months before the partition of India'
