Passage
I do not wish to suggest that because we were one nation we had no differences, but it is submitted that our leading men travelled throughout India either on foot or in bullock carts. They learned one another’s languages and there was no aloofness amongst them. What do you think could have been the intention of those farseeing ancestors of ours who stahlished Setubandha (Rameshwar) in the South, Jagannath in the East and Hardware in the North as places of pilgrimage ? You will admit they were no fools. They knew that worship of God could have been performed just as well at home. They taught us that those whose hearts were aglow with righteousness had the Ganges in their own homes. But they saw that India was one undivided land so made by nature. They, therefore argued that it must be one nation. Arguing thus, they established holy places in variou part of India and fired the people with an idea of nationality in a manner unknow in other world. And we Indians are one as no two Englishmen are. Only you and I and others who consider ourselves civilized and superior persons imagine that we are nations. It was after the advent of railways that we began to bene distinctions, and you are at liberty now to say that it is through the railways that we are beginning to abolish those distinctions. An opium-eating may argue the advantage of opium-eating from the fact that he began to understand the evil of the opium habit after having eaten it. I would ask you to consider well what I had said on the railways.
