[A] India is no longer on her knees for boons; she is on her feet for rights.
[B] Indian dress, Indian food, Indian ways, Indian customs are all looked on as second rate; Indian mother-tongue and Indian literature cannot make an educated man.
[C] The greatest injury British rule has done to Indians is to deprive them of the natural instinct born in all free people, the feeling of an inherent right to self-determination, to be themselves.
[D] Indians as well as Englishmen take it for granted that the natural rights of every Nation do not belong to them; they claim, “a larger share in the government of the country”, and they are expected to feel grateful for ‘boons’ of concession.
[E] Thank God that India’s eyes are opening; that myriads of her people realise that they are men, with a man’s right to freedom in his own country, a man’s right to manage his own affairs.
