On 6 January 1921, the police in United Provinces fired at
peasants near Rae Bareli. Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to go to the
place of firing, but was stoppedby the police. Agitated and angry,
Nehru addressed the peasants who gathered around him. This is
how he later described the meeting: ‘They behaved as brave men,
calm and unruffled in the face of danger. I do not know how they
felt but I know what my feelings were. For a moment my blood was
up, non-violence was almost forgotten – but for a moment only.
The thought of the great leader, who by God’s goodness has been
sent to lead us to victory, came to me, and I saw the kisans seated
and standing near me, less excited, more peaceful than I was –
and the moment of weakness passed, I spoke to them in all
humility on non-violence – I needed the lesson more than they –
and they heeded me and peacefully dispersed.
