power which is the subject of this article can be used only by the strong. This
power is not passive resistance; indeed, it calls for intense activity. The
movement in South Africa was not passive but active... 'Satyagraha is not
physical force. A satyagrahi does not inflict pain on the adversary; he does not
seek his destruction... In the use of satyagraha, there is no ill- will whatever.
'Satyagraha is pure soul-force. Truth is the very substance of the soul. That is
why this force is called satyagraha. The soul is informed with knowledge. Init
burns the flame of love.... Nonviolence is the supreme dharma...It is certain
that India cannot rival Britain or Europe in force of arms. The British worship
the war-god and they can all of them become, as they are becoming, bearers of
arms. The hundreds of millions in India can never carry arms. They have madethe
religion of non-violence their own...

[Link] worship is an age old tribal belief based on the premise that all creations of
nature have to be protected. Such beliefs have preserved several virgin forests in
pristine form called Sacred Groves (the forests of God and Goddesses). These
patches of forest or parts of large forests have been left untouched by the local
people and any interference with them is banned. Certain societies revere a particular
tree which they have preserved from time immemorial. The Mundas and the Santhal
of Chota Nagpur region worship mahua (Bassia latifolia) and kadamba(Anthocaphalus
cadamba) trees, and the tribals of Odisha and Bihar worship the tamarind (Tamarindus
indica) and mango (Mangifera indica) trees during weddings. To many of us, peepal
and banyan trees are considered sacred. Indian society comprises several cultures,
each with its own set of traditional methods of conserving nature and its creations.
Sacred qualities are often ascribed to springs, mountain peaks, plants and animals
which are closely protected. You will find troops of macaques and langurs around
many temples. They arefed daily and treated as a part of temple devotees. In and
around Bishnoi villages in Rajasthan, herds of blackbuck, (chinkara), nilgai and
peacocks can be seen as an integral part of the community and nobody harms them.
