I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.
In the East, as in the West, newspapers are fast becoming people's Bible, Koran, Zend-Avesta and Gita all rolled into one.
Though we are politically free, we are hardly free from the subtle domination of the West.
The socialistic conception of the West was born in an environment reeking with violence.
The movement of nonviolent non-co-operation has nothing in common with the historical struggles for freedom in the West.
The West has yet to discover anything so hygienic as the Indian toothstick.
Drink is not a fashion in India, as it is in the West.
God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west... keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.
