There is a Press report that the Foreign Office in England is also looking after them. The lesson to be drawn from this assault seems to be that Indians will be able to hold their own in foreign countries only if they cultivate courage. If the whites kick us every day, no protection can be given by the Imperial Government or any other Government. God does not help those who live like cowards. Living amidst tigers and wolves, we can do only two things.
True courage lies in absence of fear of wild animals.
Tigers and wolves too have been created by God, and we should view them without any ill-will. This can be practised only by saints or true devotees after a long period of devotion to God. There is a second type of courage which consists in facing tigers and wolves with weapons. This also involves risk to one s person. Such is the plight of those living in the midst of whites.
