One has to forge a nonviolent reaction to every situation afresh. Gopal Gandhi says this based on his  scholarship and his experiences as a bureaucrat and diplomat. Every provocation to nonviolence, from violence, has to be responded to afresh. This is because Mahatma Gandhi has shown us the principle, he has not laid down a code. Here Gopal Gandhi, whose father was Mahatma Gandhi’s youngest son, describes how his three uncles reacted very differently to the assassination of Gandhi and what their responses teach us about both the impulse for violence and nonviolence.
