Since I returned from South Africa...
:11:19
...I've travelled over much of India.
:11:21
And I know that I could travel
for many more years...

:11:26
...and still only see
a small part of her.

:11:30
And yet, I already know...
:11:32
...that what we say here...
:11:34
...means nothing to
the masses of our country.

:11:39
Here, we make speeches
for each other...

:11:43
...and those English liberal magazines
that may grant us a few lines.

:11:49
But the people of India...
:11:51
...are...
:11:53
...untouched.
:11:55
Their politics are confined to bread...
:11:59
...and salt.
:12:00
Illiterate they may be,
but they're not blind.

:12:03
They see no reason to give their
Ioyalty to rich and powerful men...

:12:06
...who simply want to take over
the role of the British...

:12:09
...in the name of freedom.
:12:12
This congress tells the world...
:12:15
...it represents India.
:12:18
My brothers...
:12:20
...India...
:12:21
...is 7 00,000 villages...
:12:26
...not a few hundred lawyers in Delhi...
:12:29
...and Bombay.
:12:31
Until we stand in the fields...
:12:33
...with the millions that toil
each day under the hot sun...

:12:38
...we will not represent India.
:12:42
Nor will we ever be able
to challenge the British...

:12:46
...as one nation.
