of the truth of the British Justice and
fairplay!'
The Britishers have been violating the
treaties and solemn pledges given to the
princes and the people Of India. They
arrest patriots without accusation and
deport them without trial, outrage the
right Of asylum. and deny political pris-
suborn perjured witnesses. and defend
! the torture of the innocent people by
their police, put down public meetings,
and suppress freedom of the press. All
the .infamies. which they denounce when
committed by other countries. are being
perpetrated by them in Hindustan. And
these are the people who pretent to sup
port the rights Of the Beigians. and
liberty and civilization!'
| We. the members Of the Indian Ma
tional Party. declare, that the action Of
the British in India is unjust and inhu-
man. We strongly protest against the
inhumanities being perpetrated on the
Indian patriots who are fighting for ma
tional freedom. We protest against the
bringing the Indian soldiers to be MUIR
dered on the battle-fields of Europe and
elsewhere.
! At present. India is in state Of war
ing waged by the nationalists to emanci-
pate themselves from the hated British
yoke. We declare those Indians who are
helping the enemy as traitors to the
cause of our Fatherland.
! We ask the world in the name of JUS
tice, what right England has to put down
the Indian patriots, while she pretends
to uphold the cause of'1iberty' in Eu-
rope! We. the Indian nationalists, de-
clare that we have a right to fight for
| freedom, and we will not stop till India
is free.
We, the Indian nationalists. appeal to
the world at large in the name of hu-
mainly and justice land ask whose claim
is more reasonable. of the Indians or Of
the Britshers in India?
/ We denounce the British domination
in India, which is extremely prejudicial
to Indian interests and against all laws
! of humanity. Whatever brutal proceed
ings Great Britain may take against
the just aspirations of Hindustan, the
Indian movement for independence shall
not be suppressed till India is free from
the HimalaNas to Cane Comorin.
