"India cannot cease to be one nation because people belonging to different religions live in it. The introduction of foreigners does not necessarily destroy the nation; they merge into it... That country must have a faculty for assimilation." (26)
This seems to go against the ideas we laid out in class. We had agreed that people should be tolerant of other nationalities entering into our own nation, however it seems that Gandhi wants those people who enter into India to lose their sense of national identity. Gandhi seems to expect people to conform to the ways of his nation.
