He states that we(Indians) have no secrets addressing the police and making them receptive of what he's about to say which in rhetorical terms is his exordium.

He starts his speech by welcoming everybody including the English policemen. This is a deliberative rhetoric because it is in a form of a discussion or argument between him and the audience about the present issues the Indians face in South Africa. In this speech, Gandhi addressed the new law enacted by the British government as a response to the Indians defiance to carry pass books at all times. It was the start of a rhetorical timeline and he knew he had to move the people to rally behind him. This speech was the first speech he gave since his return so he used to pathos to establish his ethical character as a person who was always for the people. Gandhi uses this mode of persuasion to full effect. His very eyes, shuns those whom you admonish him to shun '.

Rejoicing, sympathises with those whose wretchedness your words bring before Whatever you built up as regrettable, rejoices at what you say is cause for And like St Augustine defines the means of persuasion by the use of emotional appeal 'he likes what you promise, fears what you say is imminent, hates what you censure, embraces what you commend, regrets They started paying heed to what he was saying because he was relaying exactly their thoughts. Some members of the audience started walking away because he was a speaker they were unaccustomed but stopped to pay attention to him when he mentioned 'the politics of the people of India is confined to bread and salt, illiterate hey may be but they are not blind, they see no reason to give their loyalty to rich and powerful men who simply want to take over the role of the British'.

This speech is more of a narration his encounters during his tour and what needs to be done so it's style was the low plain style. He felt he needed to really understand the people before taking his next course of action. Gandhi, after relocating back to India toured the whole country trying to get to know the people better. He was appalled by what they were and told them to stop it. He mentions the conjunction 'and' in close succession about a dozen times to make him look mult-ireligious and affirm the idea that they are all one people. The figure of speech used in the above quote is the polysyndeton. He persuades them to see the Muslims as their fellow brothers by setting himself as an example, he says' i am a Muslim and a Hindu and a Christian and a Jew and so are all of you'.He knows very well that they respect and approve of him and his values so if he(Gandhi) is able to relate this way to everybody so should they. The dominant appeal here is the ethical appeal(ethos). Also, because he is urging them to stop shouting and waving flags for Mr Jinnah to be killed. This short speech is a deliberative rhetoric as it is in a form of argument between himself and the audience. This increased the animosity between the two factions with some Hindus rallying in an effort to stop Gandhi from meeting with Mr Jinnah. His reason was that the Muslims did not want to be a minority in a Hindu filled India. When it was clear the independence of India was imminent and near, the Islamic leader Mr Jinnah who rallied behind Gandhi all this while was advocating for an independent nation separate from India for the Muslim populace.
