Indian people. He elaborates that each side is dependent upon the other for both strength and weakness. Which of
the following statements BEST supports this claim? Select all that apply.
"If we are weak, they are also weak."
"If we are strong, they are weak."
"If we are weak, they are strong."
"If we are strong, they are also strong."

Answer 1

Answer: "If we are weak, they are also weak."

Step-by-step explanation:

Gandhi would often refer to the Indian weakness in resisting as the main reason for the British rule, in opposition to the mere preponderance of force of the English people. In Swaraj in One Year, he states that, while his people are weak in spite of their number, the British are weak in numbers, and that´s why they need to resort to terrorist actions. The important thing is that both of them are weak, and the weakening that both nations experience is no good for either of them nor for the rest of the world.
