Answer:

I think the statement "No clapping is possible without two hands to do it, and no quarrel without two persons to make it" is intended to mean that Gandhi and his people would rather have only one hand rather than clap for the government and their injustice towards the people. It also means that those same people are refusing to fight with the government so they will take themselves out of the fight by choosing a more passive method. I think Gandhi's purpose in using these images is to provide a more illustrated idea as to how he and his people will be resisting; they will be resisting injustice by only hurting themselves instead of the whole country.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the other answer to this question is awful, I will answer it myself even if the original asker doesn't need it anymore. I hope it is helpful for others (as long as you don't plagiarize).
