Answer:
The British were viewed as a government that created dependence of the Indian people
Step-by-step explanation:
Gandhi states “Today we feel that we are dependent upon them [British] for our internal and external security... The Rajahs are dependent upon the British for their powers and the millionaires for their millions. The British know our helplessness and Sir Thomas Holland cracks jokes quite legitimately at the expense of the non-cooperationists. To get Swaraj then is to get rid of our helplessness.” Meaning that The British wanted the Indian people to think they needed to depend on them.
