Freedom's Battle

- Mahatma Gandhi

Mr. Gandhi in moving his resolution on the creed before the Congress, said, "The resolution which I have the honor to move is as follows: The object of the Indian National Congress is the attainment of Swarajya by the people of India by all legitimate and peaceful means."
There are only two kinds of objections, so far as I understand, that will be advanced from this platform. One is that we may not today think of dissolving the British connection. What I say is that it is derogatory to national dignity to think of permanence of British connection at any cost. We are laboring under a grievous wrong, which it is the personal duty of every Indian to get redressed. This British Government not only refused to redress the wrong, but it refuses to acknowledge its mistake and so long as it retains its attitude, it is not possible for us to say all that we want to be or all that we want to get, retaining British connection.
