Now...
:03:03
...what I would like to do...
:03:05
...is to come to some compromise
over the new--

:03:09
If you will excuse me,
Your Excellency...

:03:12
...it is our view that matters
have gone beyond legislation.

:03:16
We think it is time you recognized...
:03:17
...that you are masters
in someone else's home.

:03:23
Despite the best intentions
of the best of you...

:03:25
...you must, in the nature of things,
humiliate us to control us.

:03:30
General Dyer is but an extreme
example of the principle.

:03:34
It is time you left.
:03:40
With respect, Mr. Gandhi...
:03:43
...without British administration...
:03:45
...this country would be
reduced to chaos.

:03:47
Mr. Kinnoch...
:03:51
...I beg you to accept
that there is no people...

:03:53
...who would not prefer
their own bad government...

:03:55
...to the good government
of an alien power.

:03:57
My dear sir, India is British.
:04:00
We're hardly an alien power.
:04:10
Even if His Majesty could waive
all other considerations...

:04:15
...he has a duty to the millions
of his Muslim subjects...

:04:19
...who are a minority in this realm.
:04:21
And experience suggests
that his troops...

:04:25
...and his administration
are essential...

:04:28
...in order to secure the peace.
:04:32
All nations contain
religious minorities.

:04:35
Like other countries,
ours will have its problems.

:04:39
But they will be ours...
:04:41
...not yours.
:04:42
How do you propose
to make them yours?

:04:45
You don't think we're just
going to walk out of India.

:04:49
Yes.
:04:51
In the end...
:04:52
...you will walk out...
:04:54
...because 100,000 Englishmen
simply cannot control...

:04:57
...350 million Indians
if those Indians refuse...
