By that supreme act of justice, Britain could have taken away all cause for India’s seething discontent. It would be worth all the battleships and airships which your engineers and financial resources can produce. “Is there anything wrong with the Congress Party demanding unconditional recognition of India's independence? This is> the psychological moment for that recognition. Only then can there be irresistible opposition to Japanese agression.”
