Passage1
Saintsshouldalwaysbejudgedguiltyuntiltheyareproveninnocent,buttheteststhathavetobeappliedtothemarenot,ofcourse,thesameinallcases.InGandhi'scase,onemustaskwhetherhewasmovedbyvanity,specificallybytheconsciousnessofhimselfas
ahumble,nakedoldmansittingonaprayermatandshakingempiresbysheerspiritualpower.Furthermore,onemustaskwhetherhecompromisedhisownprinciplesbyenteringpolitics,whichbyitsnatureisinseparablefromcoercionandfraud.

AtaboutthetimewhenthisautobiographyfirstappearedIrememberreadingitsopeningchaptersintheill-printedpagesofsomeIndiannewspaper.Theymadeagoodimpressiononme,whichGandhihimselfatthattimedidnot.
Thethingsthatoneassociatedwithhim—home-spunclothandvegetarianism—wereunappealing,andhismedievalistprogramwasobviouslynotviableinabackwardandover-populatedcountry.
ItwasalsoapparentthattheBritishweremakinguseofhim,orthoughttheywere.Strictlyspeaking,asanationalist,hewasanenemy,butsinceineverycrisishewouldexerthimselftopreventviolence—which,fromtheBritishpointofview,meantpreventingany
effectiveactionwhatsoever—hecouldberegardedasanally.Inprivatethiswassometimescynicallyadmitted.TheattitudeoftheIndianmillionaireswassimilar.
Gandhicalleduponthemtorepent,andnaturallytheypreferredhimtosocialistsandcommunistswho,given
40thechance,wouldactuallyhavetakentheirmoneyaway.
However,thereliabilityofsuchcalculationsbytheBritishare,inthelongrun,doubtful.AsGandhihimselfsaid,“intheenddeceiversdeceiveonly
45themselves.”Atanyratethegentlenesswithwhichhewasnearlyalwayshandledwasduepartlytothefeelingthathewasuseful.TheBritishgovernmentonlybegantoopposehimwhen,in1930,heturnedhisnon-violenceagainstadifferentconqueror.
