In the name of Indian national life, in the name of religion, I appeal to all in each of the two countries who hold position... let them begin each in their own community to work untiringly towards this end: boldly to repudiate feelings of hatred and intolerance, actively to condemn and suppress acts of violence and aggression, earnestly to strive to exorcise suspicions... I appeal in the name of national life because communal tension is eating into it as a canker... I appeal in the name of religion because I can appeal to nothing nobler, and because religion is the language of the soul, and it is a change of soul that India needs today.


Speech as Viceroy of India, 1926. Quoted in Birkenhead, pp. 223-4.
