MESSAGE TO KERALA.
[The following message to Kerala was dictated by Mr. Gandhi an hour and a half before his arrest. It was addressed to Mr. IT. Gopala Menon, Editor of * Naveena Keralam".]
The only message that I can send in the midst of overwhelming work is for both Hindus and Moplahs to realise their future responsibility, not to brood over the past. How to reach the Moplahs as also the class of Hindus whom you would want to reach through your newspaper is more than I can say, but I know that Hindus should cease to be cowardly. The Moplahs should cease to be cruel. In other words, each party should become truly religious. According to the Sastras Hinduism is certainly not the creed of cowards. Equally certainly, Islam is not the creed % of the cruel- The only way the terrible problem before you can be solved is by a few picked-Hindus and Mussulmans working away in perfect unison and with faith in their mission. They ought not to be baffled by absence of results in the initial stages, and if you can get together from among your readers a number of such men and women your paper will have served a noble purpose.
