I am working in Calcutta for the last 15 years and my family have been residing here for about 50 years and therefore the assurance given was based on my personal knowledge and belief. The Muslims of Calcutta have done most important work in connection with the Khilafat movement during the last three years, and in this last stage also Calcutta will take the lead. It has understood the moral of peaceful sacrifice. It will neither flare up nor extinguish but the fire will continue to burn on. It appears that the share of completing the stage of peaceful civil disobedience has fallen on Calcutta, to which it has a right.
My first message of ten years ago is also my last message of today i.e., “Be neither harassed nor sorrowful. If you can cultivate the real faith in you, you can predominate all”. The foundation of our success is based upon the following four principles—viz.
(1) Complete unity among Hindus and Mussalmans, (2) Peace (3) Organization, (4) Sacrifice and firmness.
