In various parts of the India, the common people displayed a heroism which was of an unprecedented character. Thus, while long processions of unarmed men and women proceeded in file to take possession of police stations, they are fired upon by Indian constabulary. Scores were shot dead, many wounded; yet the processions proceeded after brief interruption. In one case, an old woman was shot dead after three rounds of fire; and yet as she died, she held aloft the national flag with which she had voluntarily marched at the head of the file. She had done so because she did not want young men to lay down their lives while there were people like her with all their age.
