We will not cease fighting until Mother India is free |
Broadcast over Azad Hind Radio from Germany on 11th March 1942
For some time I have watched the changes in the world calmly and quietly. The fall of singapore is a prelude to the fall of British Empire. A new era is setting in. By enslaving us, the British have entirely ruined our morality and our finances. We bow our heads before God, who has granted us such an auspicious occasion for freeing India. In this age there is no greater enemy of freedom and progress than Britain. Now is the time to wake up from your slumber. The end of British domination will mean the end of a tyrannous regime, and the beginning of a new life in the history of India. The British have heaped indignities and humilations upon us. Again we thank God for giving us this auspicious opportunity. Today many nations of the world are the enemies of Britain. The friends of Britain are our enemies. The Indian National Congress claims to guide the nation. But its half-hearted measure have encouraged British leaders to continue to follow the old and hackeyed course, namely, of making promises without meaning to fulfil them. I also know that there are such people in India who are axdious to preserve the British Empire. The majority of Indias do not want either British rule or their economic system. We will not cease fighting until Mother India is free. In the world is dawning a new age. A true patriot says that his own fate must be decided by himself. we are ready to co-operate with any nations that will help us in regaining our independence. I hope that all my Indian brothers and sisters will help me in this war against the British. Even with her cunning, and under-hand policy, Britain cannot foll India, neither can she stop Indians from cherishing their ideal of nationalism. India has decided to fight for her freedom. She will not only free hersel, but will free Asia and even the whole world. |
