Would you be able to find a source which quotes Mahatma Ghandi as saying that he didn't care if it took a million lives to succeed against the Nazis by the use of passive-resistance?

Hello. At a press conference on May 24, 1942, Gandhi was asked about the potential use of passive resistance by India in response to being invaded (presumably by the Axis powers since World War II was going on at the time). "Q. There is a report about some new scheme that you want to propound in one of your Harijan articles about non-violent non-cooperation if any invader came to India. Could you give us an idea? A. It is wrong. I have no plan in mind. If I had, I should give it to you. But I think nothing more need be added when I have said that there should be unadulterated non-violent non-cooperation, and if the whole of India responded and unanimously offered it, I should show that, without shedding a single drop of blood, Japanese arms ? or any combination of arms ? can be sterilized. That involves the determination of India not to give quarter on any point whatsoever and to be ready to risk loss of several million lives. But I would consider that cost very cheap and victory won at that cost glorious. That India may not be ready to pay that price may be true. I hope it is not true, but some such price must be paid by any country that wants to retain its independence. After all, the sacrifice made by the Russians and the Chinese is enormous, and they are ready to risk all. The same could be said of the other countries also, whether aggressors or defenders. The cost is enormous. Therefore, in the non-violent technique I am asking India to risk no more than other countries are risking and which India would have to risk even if she offered armed resistance." source: Fitchburg State College History Sourcebook: Gandhi VII.

GREAT! I'm glad you gave more than 1 source as well. Source is vital or no one will believe me! Thank you! Great job!!!!!

Hi Frankebe, I've located a Gandhi quotation that is almost identical to what you describe. The statement was made during World War II, and was in response to a question about how India would respond to being invaded, presumably by an Axis power. Gandhi's answer is very close to what you describe, but doesn't use the word "Nazis." Would you be interested in this quotation?

Thank you for the tip. -juggler
