A Letter to a Hindu

‘A Letter to a Hindu’ was a letter written by Leo Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das in 1908. In this letter Tolstoy stated that the only way for Indian people to free themselves from the colonial British rule was a principle of love. Tolstoy saw the law of love espoused in all the world's religions, and he argued that the individual, non-violent application of the law of love in the form of remonstrances, walkouts, and other forms of peaceful resistance were the only alternative to violent revolution .
