The truth is, that the British Empire with its Indian appendage, is also a monstrosity.

But if the bond of subjection is finally and ultimately unloosed, then mutual respect may succeed to mutual hate.

Notes from Wikiquote

Also paraphrased as: The British Empire today, with its Indian appendage - with India held in subjection by force - is also a monstrosity. It can produce only bitterness, ever-increasing bitterness, and estrangement, between India and England, tow people that ought to be friends.
