The purpose of the wall of peace is to remind us that as long as there has been brutality, there have also been individuals who rejected the arguments for violence and advocated peace and justice for all – a foremost principle of Hinduism. The people commemorated on the Wall of Peace overcame extreme personal deprivation and danger to bring about significant changes in the world. Despite the constant repression and peril they faced, they preserved knowing that only non-violence and compassion can truly change the world.
