Even should the British leave in consequence of such murderous acts, who will then rule in their place? The only answer is: the murderers...India can gain nothing from the rule of murderers - no matter whether they are black or white.

And what rough beast, its hour come at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?
