That genetic engineering had the potential to turn evolution upside down and inside out was known to be
theoretically possible. No one was prepared for it when it actually happened. When last week a British scientist
reproduced a sheep from its mother through genetic cloning, the news was received all around the world with near-
disbelief. Àn Àndia too scientists reacted broadly in the manner of their western counterparts. Àn the Àndian Ànstitute
of science at Banglore where pioneering work on genetic engineering is under way, a senior scientist and chairman
of the microbiology department Dr. K.P. Gopinathan described the cloning of ³Dolly´, the British lamb as a fantastic
achievement. But he cautioned that ethical questions would have to be convincingly answered before attempts are
made to similarly clone human beings. Dr. Gopinathan himself has achieved considerable success in genetic
engineering. His team is credited with having cloned the luminescence gene of the firefly onto a silkworm causing
it to glow in the dark. His department is also at present working on a method to cultivate in a silkworm the gene that
is responsible for the growth of an individual.

We talk about democracy but when it comes to any particular thing, we prefer a man belonging to our caste or
community or religion. So long as we have this kind of temptation it means that our democracy is a phoney kind of
democracy. We must be in a position to respect a man as a man and to extend opportunities for development to
those who deserve them and not to those people who happen to belong to our community or race. This fact of
favouritism and nepotism has been responsible for much discontent and ill will in our own country. Àf any one asks
us why we suffer, we need not point to the stars above or say that God has punished us. We have to put it down to

According to Napoleon, ³Àt is a approved maxim in war never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this
reason alone that he desires it.´ Non-violent resistance acts fully in accordance with Napoleon¶s principle. Your
violent opponent wants you to fight in the way to which he is accustomed. Àf you utterly decline, and adopt a
method wholly new to him, you have thus gained an immediate tactical advantage. The surprise of non-violent
resistance is effective because the opponent is so bound by his violent habits that he is ill prepared to utilize the
new tactics himself. The surprise of non-violent resistance, unlike that of war, is not due to deceit or stratagem but
simply due to its novelty.
