‘‘We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any

the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We
believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and

India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe,
therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna
Swaraj or Complete Independence.’’ [H, PG-63]
