Chapter 55 Chapter XXVIII Pune and Madras Ferro

Sir Zexia's help made my work go smoothly.So I went from Bombay to Pune.There are two parties here; I need the patronage of all sides. First I went to Roccamania Dirac.He said: "You are right to ask for help from all sides. In South Africa, there will be no difference of opinion. But you have to have a non-partisan as your chairman. You go and see Panda Professor Ka. He doesn't take part in any public campaigns these days. But this question may draw him out. You go see him and tell me what he has to say. I will try to help you. Of course, if you like, you Come and see me anytime, and I will be at your service."

This was the first time I met Roccamania.It opened my eyes to the mystery of his incomparable fame. Then I went to see Gokhli, whom I found in the courtyard of Faguson College.He welcomed me warmly and his attitude won my heart immediately.This is also the first time I have met him, but we are like old friends reunited.To me, Sir Ferrozesha is like the Himalayas, and Rokamaniya is like the ocean.But Gokhli is like the Ganges.People can take a refreshing bath in this holy river, but the Himalayas are unattainable, and the ocean is far beyond reach, but the Ganges is open to welcome.How comfortable it would be to swim on the river with a boat and an oar.Gokhley tested me carefully, the way a principal examines freshmen.He told me who to go to and how to find them.He wants to read my speech.He showed me around the institute, assured me that he was always at my disposal, asked me to inform him of the results of my meeting with Dr. Pandaka, and left me very happy.Politically speaking, the place that Gokhli held in my heart during his lifetime is still absolutely incomparable even today.Dr. Pandaka received me with paternal warmth.It was noon when I went to see him.The fact that I was busy looking for someone at this moment did a lot for this indomitable scholar, and he was in favor of my insistence that a man without party or affiliation be chairman of the convention. Repeatedly said "this is true", "this is true".After listening to my explanation of my purpose, he said: "Anyone will tell you that I will not participate in political activities. But I cannot refuse you. Your question is so powerful, and your efforts are so admirable. Impossible not to attend your congress. You have discussed it with Dirac and Gokhli, which is very good. Please tell them: I will be happy to be the chairman of the joint congress of these two organizations. You don't have to ask me when the time is suitable; Whatever time they think is right is fine with me." After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to me and gave me congratulations and blessings.

These learned and impartial men of Pune held a meeting in a modest and generous little place without trouble, and sent me away cheerfully, with greater confidence in my mission .Then I went to Madras, where I was received with enthusiasm.The events of Balasundharang made a deep impression on the assembly.My lectures are in typeface and, for me, quite long, but the audience pays close attention to every word.At the end of the conference, the "Green Book" was sold as usual.I produced 10,000 copies of the revised second edition, which sold like hot cakes, although I don't see the need for such a large number of prints.In my zeal I have overestimated the need for this book.My report was addressed to an English-speaking public, and in Madras this class alone would have cost ten thousand copies.

Here, the greatest help comes from Mr. Gu Barrowmeswaran Pillay, who is the chief editor of the "Madras Standard".He has studied this subject very carefully, and he often invites me into his office to give me instructions. Mr. G Subromanian and Dr. Subromanian of The Hindu also expressed sympathy.But Mr. G. Baromeswaran Pillay entrusted me entirely with the column of the Madras Standard, and I took advantage of the opportunity without hesitation.As far as I can remember, the meeting at the Pacaiaba Hall was conducted by Dr. Subromanian. Most of the friends I met showed such great love and enthusiasm for this cause that even though I had to talk to them in English, I felt no barrier.Is there any obstacle in the world that cannot be removed with love?
