between the two communities it behoves the Hindus, if they want to cultivate true Hindu-Moslem Unity, to refrain from acts which they know injure the sentiments of their Mussalman brethren.  We may not take undue advantage of the great spirit of toleration that is developing in Mussalmans and do things likely to irritate them.  It is never a matter of principle for a Hindu procession to continue playing music before mosques.  And now that we desire voluntarily to respect Mussalman sentiment, we should be doubly careful at a time when Hindus are offering assistance to Mussalmans in their troubles.  That assistance should be given in all humility and without any arrogation of rights.  To my Mussalman brethren I would say that it would become their dignity to restrain themselves and not feel irritated when any Hindu had done anything to irritate their religious sentiment.  But in any event, you have today presented to you a remedy for the settlement of any such issue.  We must settle our disputes by arbitration as was done this after-noon.  You cannot always get a Moulana Shankat Ali, exercising unrivalled influence on the community.  But we can always get people enough in our own villages, towns and districts who exercise influence over such villages and towns and command the confidence of both the communities.  The offended party should consider it its duty to approach them and not to take the law in its own hands.

It gives me much pleasure to announce to you that, Mr. Kaleswar Rao has consented to refrain from standing for election to the new Legislative Councils.  You will be also pleased to know that Mr. Gulam Nohiuddin has resigned his Honorary Magistrateship, I hope that both these patriots will not consider that they have done their last duty by their acts of renunciation, but I hope they will regard their acts as a prelude to acts of greater purpose and greater energy and I hope they will take in hand the work of educating the electorate in their districts regarding boycott of councils.  I have said elsewhere that never for another century will India be faced with a conjunction of events that faces it to-day.  The cloud that has descended upon Islam has solidified the Moslem world as nothing else could have.  It has awakened the men and women of Mussulman India from their deep sleep.  Inasmuch as a single Panjabi was made to crawl on his belly in the famous street of Amitsar, I hold that the whole of was made to crawl on its belly.  And if we want to straighten up ourselves from that crawling position and stand erect before the whole world, it requires, a tremendous effort.  H.E. the Viceroy in his Viceregal pronouncement at the opening of the Council was pleased to say that he did not desire to make any remarks on the Punjab events.  He treated them as a closed chapter and referred us to the future verdict of history.  I venture to tell you the citizens of Bezwada that India will have deserved to crawl in that lane if she accepts this
