Early in his career as leader of India's campaign to end British rule, Gandhi resisted terrorist interpretations of the \u003ci\u003eGita \u003c\/i\u003eand described the \u003ci\u003eGita \u003c\/i\u003eas depicting a metaphorical battle between good and evil impulses within every human heart. Then when India was drawn into a world war not unlike that in which Arjuna reluctantly led his troops into combat, Gandhi embraced his role as battlefield commander of the millions he had trained to be non-violent warriors. Never abandoning his dedication to non-violence, Gandhi stressed to his recruits that they should act as non-violently as possible but should not passively accept injustice.
