Was It a Threat?
- Gandhi travels third class on the train. Passengers are treated like sheep, he says, and are insulted by the officials.
- Mr. G. says "big men" (as he calls noteworthy people) traveling third class shouldn't ask for exceptions but fight for the removal of the unjust conditions.
- Our hero meets with one of the authorities, who asks him if his reference to Satyagraha in a speech was a threat. Gandhi says the inclusion of Satyagraha in a speech was meant to educate the public. The official isn't convinced.
