Concentratiekampen, verwoeste dorpen en steden kenschetsen ook in Indië de praktijk van de Britten, waar ze over vreemde volken en staten heerschen. Elken dag massa-aanhoudingen, mishandelingen en terechtstellingen. Zelfs vrouwen en kinderen blijven daarvan niet verschoond. Duizenden vrijheidslievende Indiërs zuchten in Britsche gevangenissen. Roosevelt en Churchill onder het zingen van het lied: 'Voorwaarts, christen soldaten', na het afleggen van de farizeesche Atlantische-Oceaan-verklaring van 9.11.1940: 'Wij beschouwen het als een recht van de volken, dat ze dezen regeeringsvorm kiezen, onder denwelken ze willen leven; wij wenschen, dat den volken, die met geweld beroofd werden van hun souveraine rechten en van hun zelfbestuur, deze za ken teruggegeven worden!'
