भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

slavery, our Hindu nation ultimately got the golden opportunity of
achieving the greatest success as the war-drums began to thunder and rend
the European skies!!
1126. If we have received any real and effective help from any nation, it
was from Hitler, the dictator of Germany and General Tojo, the militant
leader of the Japanese! It is these countries, Germany and Japan, which
gave substantial help in up-to-date arms and ammunition for the army, navy
and air force to the revolutionary party from the very beginning, that is
from the violent agitation in Europe by the Abhinava Bharat Samstha to the
declaration of war against the British by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in
the Second World War. That is why an army of hardly forty to fifty
thousand strong, could rise in revolt against the British near Malaya and
Singapore and could march against India under Netaji Subhashbabu to free
it with the war-cry ‘Chalo Delhi’. At the same time, the British came to
know that in India too, the Indian army, navy and air force under the British
had hatched out a conspiracy to go in for a revolutionary war of
independence. Of the Indian citizens, millions were just waiting to raise a
standard of revolt against the British. Some had gone underground and
begun subversive activities, while others openly raided the British
armouries in surprise attack and sacked them thoroughly; others still, started
prototype governments and rooted out the British control over those
particular regions. Thus harassed on all sides and paralysed by incessant
fighting in the two world wars in Europe, the crippled and mutilated British
power lost its hold on India. The English people had lost the vigour and
strength needed to hold the empire in ice! At last, in 1947, the British
Viceroy began talks with the Indian leaders saying that they would
recognize Indian independence and leave it and go back.
1127. Of course, the British naturally recognized those political parties
alone as the leaders of India that were originally labouring under
misconceptions and delusion as regards their political theories, were
generally chicken-hearted and pro-British on the whole, frightened of the
Muslims and still very eager to have anyhow, by fair means or foul,
whatever little political power they could grab, and with them alone, they
carried out all their talks on the transfer of power! These parties, too, no
doubt, were patriotic in their actions; they, too, had laboured for the cause
of freedom constitutionally and non-violently.
