भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

slavery, our Hindu nation ultimately got the golden opportunity of achieving the greatest success as the war-drums began to thunder and rend the European skies!! 1126. If we have received any real and effective help from any nation, it was from Hitler, the dictator of Germany and General Tojo, the militant leader of the Japanese! It is these countries, Germany and Japan, which gave substantial help in up-to-date arms and ammunition for the army, navy and air force to the revolutionary party from the very beginning, that is from the violent agitation in Europe by the Abhinava Bharat Samstha to the declaration of war against the British by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in the Second World War. That is why an army of hardly forty to fifty thousand strong, could rise in revolt against the British near Malaya and Singapore and could march against India under Netaji Subhashbabu to free it with the war-cry ‘Chalo Delhi’. At the same time, the British came to know that in India too, the Indian army, navy and air force under the British had hatched out a conspiracy to go in for a revolutionary war of independence. Of the Indian citizens, millions were just waiting to raise a standard of revolt against the British. Some had gone underground and begun subversive activities, while others openly raided the British armouries in surprise attack and sacked them thoroughly; others still, started prototype governments and rooted out the British control over those particular regions. Thus harassed on all sides and paralysed by incessant fighting in the two world wars in Europe, the crippled and mutilated British power lost its hold on India. The English people had lost the vigour and strength needed to hold the empire in ice! At last, in 1947, the British Viceroy began talks with the Indian leaders saying that they would recognize Indian independence and leave it and go back. 1127. Of course, the British naturally recognized those political parties alone as the leaders of India that were originally labouring under misconceptions and delusion as regards their political theories, were generally chicken-hearted and pro-British on the whole, frightened of the Muslims and still very eager to have anyhow, by fair means or foul, whatever little political power they could grab, and with them alone, they carried out all their talks on the transfer of power! These parties, too, no doubt, were patriotic in their actions; they, too, had laboured for the cause of freedom constitutionally and non-violently.
