*I have considered the offer of the British Government to India, and also the speech of Sir Stafford Cripps in that connection. I feel perfectly convinced that it is now quite clear that Sir Stafford has gone to India to try the age-long policy of British imperialism ‘divide and rule’. He has himself assured us that the terms offered to India are, in his opinion, the soundest and the best, and that the members of the British Cabinet were all unanimous over these proposals. This affords one further proof that, in Britain, all party differences disappear when the question of India comes up. Sir Stafford has told us that India is a subcontinent inhabited by many races and peoples. I would like to remind him that India was united under the empire of Ashoka the Great, several centuries before the Christian era-more than a thousand years before England was unified. Britain has, in other parts of her Empire, for instance in Ireland and Palestine, used the religious issue in order to divide the people. In India, Britain has been utilising not only the same issue but other imperial weapons like the Indian princes, depressed classes etc. Now Sir Stafford is in India to use the same instruments for imperialistic ends. It is no less striking that he is applying the old imperialist policy for working out a compromise with one section of the people while simultaneously suppressing the other. That is why, on the one side, Sir Stafford is conferring with one set of politicians; while on the other, the fearless and uncompromising fighters for independence are safely lodged in prison. The Indian people are fully aware of this nefarious policy of British politicians. I have no doubt that the spirit of our freedom fighters will hurl down the prison walls and inspire the people of India to know that this is an insult to India’s self-respect and honour.*
