Letters on Himself and the Ashram

The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo. Volume 35

Remarks on Indian Affairs (1930 – 1946)

India and the Expected World War

If England is involved in the war, she will naturally call on India for men and money. And to obtain it, she will have to hold out the bait of freedom. But India won’t commit the same foolish mistake she was led to commit during the last war.

What India? The Legislative Assembly? You think it has force enough to exact freedom as a price of some military help? Must have changed much if they can do that.
