The phrase "stoniest hearts" suggests the British people and authority that refuse change the British colonial monopoly; therefore, gathering more individuals in protests will defeat the unjust power of the taxation.]]> 2020-10-19 23:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843067716 6016829 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843071062 Gandhi begins with this chunk to set his line of reasoning, in order to present himself as peaceful and establish a desire for a compromise rather than violent conflict.]]> 2020-10-19 23:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843071062 6047577 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843076104 Gandhi closes with a reminder of the letter's peaceful intent to provide aid to the British rule.

As a result, according to Gandhi, this should establish commercial negotiations without tension between India and the British. ]]> 2020-10-19 23:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843086148 6047577 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843107367 He then asserts the idea that if commercial relations are have selfish intent from the British then they "will have no difficulty in recognizing [India's] independence," which suggests the idea of war. This is important because Gandhi suggests this idea in order to warn the British to revoke the policies they enforced among the Hindus before physical conflict occurs.]]> 2020-10-20 00:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843107367 6047577 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843116908 Gandhi transitions the focus from the plans of the civil disobedience to his audience, Viceroy Lord Irwin.

This incorporation is crucial because it underlines the intent of the Indian people's movement and the cruelty of the British.]]> 2020-10-20 00:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843119974 6047577 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843127131 In the ending of this chunk, Gandhi compares the two possible outcomes of this independent movement. The first outcome is his arrest, which is to prevent Gandhi from continuing this pursuit for civil justice, and the second is the unification of the protestors will continue the fight the laws. The comparison between these two ideas is to create an ardent yet reassuring tone for this aspiring victory.]]> 2020-10-20 00:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843127131 6047577 https://padlet.com/6016829/9i9whuf9bl6l4fa0/wish/843166444 Shifting from the direct attention to the viceroy, Gandhi ends by defining the intent of the letter.
