What does gandhi mean by this quote "send us to prison and we will live there as in paradise"

English
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

By this line, Gandhi states that he will fight to continue to fight with peace and passion, that he won’t let law and oppression break him. By throwing him in the prison, he states the government would only confirm that he is loud enough and that they are reacting violently to his peaceful manners.

Explanation:

<u>Gandhi knew that by sending him to prison, the government would have to accept that his actions are being noticed and that he is doing something that is upsetting them. </u>

This was exactly one of the purposes of Gandhi’s civil disobedience – he wanted to be noticed, he wanted to break the law, he wanted to make sure that he can’t be shut up. By being sent to prison, he would know he is going against the oppressive law and to raise awareness for the cause. Therefore, he is saying that he would know that he is doing the right thing.

Gandhi’s protection was nonviolent and he was persistent in that manner – he was certain he will not hurt anyone in his fight. <u>By being shut away, government proves that they are restrictive and hurtful towards people, that they are reacting violently to peaceful protests. </u>

<u></u>

He wrote that he will live with any punishment and continue abolishing any law that is decided, all while laughing. His line about living in the prison as in a paradise<u> meant that one of his means of protest was not to give up, not to allow the oppressors to scare him</u><u>.</u> Gandhi wanted to fight proudly and with energy, never to give his opponents the satisfaction to break him.

PANDEMIC: noun. It is a disease that affects the majority of the population of a state, country or even the world. The roots are pan (Greek for “common”), demos (Greek for “people”) and its suffix is ic (which has the sense of “having the characteristic of”. The correct expression is thus, pandemic disease but by apocopation the word disease has been removed and only Pandemic remains, and it has become a noun.

DISREPUTABLE: adjective, said of people, institutions or ideas that have a bad reputation. “Dis” is the prefix and it comes from Latin and it means away, apart or asunder (which means that whatever follows the prefix is far from taking place). The root is “repute”, which comes from Latin and means to think of something as equivalent to”. Finally there is the suffix able, which means “susceptible of, capable of”. The word thus means without a proper reputation.

INTRACELLULAR: adjective, the first part of the word is the prefix “Intra” which means “within” and comes from Latin. The root is “Celull”, which also comes from Latin and means “small room”. Finally the suffix “ar” which also comes from Latin and which means “pertaining to”.  The word means then, something that pertains to what is within a small room.

MEDIATE: verb, the root is “Medium” meaning in the middle and the suffix “ate”, which is a suffix that is used to turn nouns or adjectives into verbs in both Latin and English. The word means literally “to be in the middle” of belligerents.
