we are not free because of them. we are free because of people like Netaji, INA, extremists, navy personnel (mutiny), army personnel (revolts) etc. please never forget the prisoners in Cellular jail.
and please read about the view of Mr Attlee. he pointed out it was due to Netaji, navy, army etc specifically. (in a conversation with Justice PB Chakraborty, then acting Gov of Bengal and CJ of Calcutta High Court in 1956)
also please read about "Bose, not Gandhi, ended British rule in India : BR Ambedkar" (in an interview to BBC in Feb 1955).
enough of this Gandhi-Nehru propaganda.
We are free because the accursed Anglo race couldn't hold on to their Crown Jewel, because a retarded Austrian had made their EmPiRe UpOn WHiCh tHe SUn NeVeR SeTs piss poor in WW2, so they couldn't continue to pay off their network of paid politicians, British Raj era babus, princely state princelings, the army, navy etc any more.
So they decided to make a face saving exit, if they'd overstay their welcome, they'd be removed violently like how the Algerians and Vietnamese removed the French from their respective countries.
I have my own conspiracy theory that Gandhi-Nehru were propped up by the Raj as more "friendly" and "Briton-like" patsies for the Indian Freedom movement, to establish continuity in the new country ruled by the "natives" if their Empire was ever destroyed because if these peacefool and ahimsavadi types were shot or put permanently in some random jail, much more violent and anti-establishment( i.e purge of all servants of the Anglo empire like top Jernails, babus, politicians etc ) Indian Freedom fighters( Bhagat Singh and Netaji are examples, imagine if they were the mainstream instead of Ahimsavadi peacefool people ) would emerge, with much more drastic changes on the new country which us natives would rule.
Imagine rivers of blood, mountains of corpses, but no parasitic babus, no import loving brass, no secular politicians who hate the faith and culture of their fathers, no Mullahs running amok, no Pakistan, no Bangladesh, an Akhand Bharat ruled by an iron fist.
