Morarji Desai Quote

I worked as a volunteer at that session and heard Mahatma Gandhi for the first time. I was profoundly impressed by his personality. Mahatama Gandhi was explaining his weapon of non-violent struggle for securing Swaraj.... Mahatma Ganndhi told his young companions – May be you don't agree today with what I say. But I am confident that within twenty five or thirty years, we will get Swaraj by this method. This purportedly proved true and just 31 years later India became independent.
