Such a man will enjoy swarajya wherever he may happen to live. A nation that has many such men always enjoys swarajya. It is wrong normally for one nation to rule over another. British rule in India is an evil but we need not believe that any very great advantage would accrue to the Indians if the British were to leave India. If these three things were to disappear, not only would the British leave India without the rustling of a leaf, but it would be real swarajya that we would enjoy.
Many people exult at the explosion of bombs.
This only shows ignorance and lack of understanding. If all the British were to be killed, those who kill them would become the masters of India, and as a result India would continue in a state of slavery. The bombs with which the British will have been killed will fall on India after the Bri-tish leave. The man who killed the President of the French Republic was himself a Frenchman and the assassin of President Cleveland of America was an American. We ought to be careful, therefore, not to be hasty and thoughtlessly to imitate the people of the West.
