"Gandhi however, believed, that blaming others would never resolve the conflict. As a staygarhi , he asserted that separatism and hatred within each person led to violence. He therfere held every one in Calcutta responsible for the rioting. He admonished all to ‘turn search lights inwards” and to ses that the street criminals directly responsible for most of the violence, the goondas, were a reflection of the goomdaism within every Hindu, Mulsim and Sikh."
