"India
never was one, was never a nation, never was a country governed by one
single power even with the sword. It is a sub-continent of different
nationalities and peoples. It was never governed, in history, by one
single power. Even today, when constitutionally and legally British
are ruling over India, one third India is not British. The administrative
oneness is entirely the making of the British. The government, which
has been in this sub-Continent for 150 or 160 years, is not a government
with the sanction of the peoples.... It is the sanction of British bayonets
and not the sanction of the peoples."
