Passage:
Gandhiji was of a ripe age. but he wasstill full of vitality and his capacity for work was prodigious. The end came suddenly by the hand of an assassin. India was shocked and the world grieved. and to those of us who were more intimately connected with him the shock and sorrowwas hardto bear. And yet perhaps. it was a
fitting close to a magnificent career and in his death. as in his life, he served the cause to which he had devoted himself. None of us would have liked to see him gradually fade in body and mind with increasing years. And so he died. as he had lived. a bright star of hope and achievement. the Father of the Nation which had been shaped and trained by him for half a century.

To those who had the high privilege of being associated with him in some of his innumerable activities, he will ever remain the embodiment of youthful energy.
Weshall not think of him as an old man. but rather as one who represented with the vitality of spring the birth of a newIndia. To a younger generation who did not come in personal contact with him, heis a tradition and numerousstories are woven round his name and activities. He was great in his life. he is greater since he passed away.

Passage:
Communication is essentially a social affair. Man has evolved a host of different systems of communication. which render his social life possible—social life not in the sense of living in packs for hunting or for making war, but in a sense unknown to animals. Most prominent among all these systems of communication is of course, human speech and language. Human language is not to be equated with the sign system of animals: he can with his remarkable faculties of speech give utterance to almost any thought. Speech and writing are by no means our only system of communication. Social intercourse is greatly strengthened by habits of gesture — little movements of the hand and face. Also. we have economic systems for trafficking not in ideas but in material goods and services; the tokens of communication are coins, bonds, letters of credit and so on. But life in the modern world is coming to depend more and more upon ‘technical’ means of communication. telephone and telegraph, radio and printing. Without such technical aids the modern city —state could not exist one week,for it is only by means of them that trade and business can proceed.

For a man who can command another man’s labour and self-denial for the support of his own existence 1s a privileged person of the highest species conceivable on earth. Princes and pampers meet on this plane. and no other men are on it. On the other hand, a man whose labour and self-denial may be diverted from his maintenance to that of some other man is not a freeman, and approaches more or less toward the position of a slave. Therefore we shall find that. in all the notions which weare to discuss. this elementary contradiction. that there are classes and that there are not classes, will produce repeated confusion and absurdity. We shall find that. in our efforts to eliminate the old vices of class government. we are impeded and defeated by newproducts of the worst possible distinction — the right to claim and the duty to give one man’s effort for another man’s satisfaction. We shall find that effort to realize equality necessitates a sacrifice ofliberty.

It is very popular to pose as a “friend of humanity’. or a “friend of the working classes’. Anything which has a charitable sound generally passes without
investigation, because it is disagreeable to assail it. Whatever may be one’s private sentiments. the fear of appearing cold and hard-hearted causes these conventional theories of social duty and these assumptionsofsocial fact to pass unchallenged.
