Cultivating physical strength, finding joy in physical labor and being fearless are some of the key qualities for nonviolence. Subba Rao has learnt this over 70 years of holding youth camps, on the Gandhian ideals of truth and nonviolence, in every state of India and abroad. He has conducted 37 camps in the USA over that many years. Here ‘Bhaiji’, as he is better known, shares reflections on this work including his key role in the surrender of dacoits in the Chambal Valley in the 1950s. There are alternatives to the gun but it is weapons and organized violence that get large volumes of investment whereas nonviolence attracts a fraction of spending. What advocates of nonviolence can build upon is that people across the world are fed up of violence. Thus one day the world will accept that love is the alternative to the gun.
