There is a chorus of disapproval and righteous protest all

over the world against us. They say we are erring, the
move is inopportune. I had great regard for British
diplomacy which has enabled them to hold the Empire so
long. Now it stinks in my nostrils, and others have
studied that diplomacy and are putting it into practice.
They may succeed in getting, through these methods,
world opinion on their side for a time; but India will
speak against that world opinion. She will raise her voice
against all the organized propaganda. I will speak against
it.
"Quit India,"
Mohandas Gandhi
