Gandhi (film)/Tear Jerker

"*A man strides into Gandhi's dwelling and throws bread at his feet*
 * The deciption of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
 * During his hunger strike to end Hindu-Muslim violence and religious riots.

Man: Eat...EAT! I am going to hell, but I will not have your death on my soul!

Gandhi: Only God decides who goes to hell.

Man: I killed a child! A Muslim infant! I picked it up and smashed it's head against a wall!

Gandhi: ...And why did you do this thing?

Man: Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my only son! *indicates the boy's height by holding a hand around his waist, starts crying* He was just a little boy, about so tall...

Gandhi: I know a way out of hell. Go out into the streets and find a little boy...


 * Gandhi holds his hand around the height of the man's waist.*

Gandhi: ...about so tall, whose parents have been killed in the riots. Take him home and raise him as your own. Only, be sure that he is a Muslim, and be sure that you raise him as such."
