My grandmother and I were good friends. My parents left me with her when they went to live in the city, and we were constantly together. She used to wake me up in the morning and get me ready for school. She said her morning prayer in a monotonous singsong while she bathed and dressed me, in the hope that I would listen and get to know it by heart; I listened because I loved her voice but never bothered to learn it. Then she would fetch my wooden slate, which she had already washed. After a breakfast of a thick, stale chapati with a little butter and sugar spread on it, we went to school. She carried several stale chapatis with her for the village dogs.

Bertrand Russell appeals to all concerned as human beings, a member of the species, man whose continued existence is in doubt. A war with hydrogen bombs puts an end to the human race. In his view, it seems the ‘general public’ have not realized the impact of a war with atomic bombs. A hydrogen bomb is 25000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima. So, the stark, dreadful and inescapable problem before us is whether we shall put an end to the human race or we shall give up wars. He explains in great detail the role of ordinary people in the peace process and requests the ‘general public’ to be more aware and assertive so that the fate of the nations need not be decided by despotic leaders alone.
