The Independence Day Pledge, 26 Jan. 1930: We believe that it is inalienable right of the India people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth.  We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it.  The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually.  We believe, therefore, that India must severe the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.
