“Even should the British leave in consequence of such murderous acts, who will rule in their place? The only answer is: the murderers”.

British were Murderers.
Remember that this statement was done in 1909, where there was no connection between Gandhi & Freedom Struggle.
"India can gain nothing from the rule of murderers-no matter whether they are black or white. Under such a rule, India will be utterly ruined

Why blame Hamid Ansari when Gandhi did the same. By the end of this thread, your blood, boils!
High ranking British officials including Viceroys Chelmsford, Linlithgow and Puckle (DG of Intelligence in 1940), would naturally find Gandhi as an "asset".
"The best policeman
the British had in India", and "out, he might prove of great assistance to them "
THE MISSIONARIES have also commented how Gandhi aided the efforts of the govt to crush the revolutionaries and sidelined them. In the words of a prominent missionary, Stanley Jones,
"He saw clearly that there were two ways that India might gain her freedom. She might take the way of the sword & bomb, the way Bengal anarchists have actually taken. The fires of rebellion were underneath. The flash of a bomb here and there let the world see in that lurid light
Today is one of the darkest days in Post-independence Bharatiya History & majority of the population

Jyoti Basu Was Ruling Then.
Here's excerpts from Deep Halder, who brought out the tragedy called Marichjhappi..
"Chotoloks - the class-less and the caste-less people who have no right to live" - These are the very people who kept quiet when the refugees who came back from Dandakaranya in search of home,
The enemies are only 50 yards from us. We are heavily outnumbered. We are under devastating fire. I shall not withdraw an inch but will fight to our last man and our last round.
