What does Gandhi say?
‘All other princely states, big and small, will ultimately surrender themselves to the supreme might of Nizam and thus Nizam will decorate the throne of India!’ ‘I will prefer anarchy to a well organized rule of the British or any other foreigner. Suppose, the states in this country willingly become subalterns of Nizam, or Nizam comes to the throne with the backing of the Muslim tribes on the frontier, then I will welcome such anarchy.’ “If the Nizam becomes the emperor of Hindusthan by subjugating the Hindu states with the help of the tribes on the frontiers, it will be a cent per cent Swaraj. It will be ‘Home Rule’!’
What does Savarkar say?
Even a single handed Shinde on one side will trash the whole Nizam forces on a new Udgir or Kharda battlefield.
The Organizers of the Hindus can’t forget that the millions of Hindus from Kashmir to Kannyakumari are charged with the principle of ‘Unity of Hindus.’ In case the Muslims initiate a nation-wide civil war, there is no reason to believe that the Hindu Princes will take it lying down.
When all the Hindu kings from Udaypur to Kolhapur and from Mysore to Cochin will attack the Muslim invaders in unison, it will leave no trace of Muslim rule from the Indian Ocean in the south to Yamuna in the north.
During the Anglo-German war in 1914, this very Gandhi had hatched the dangerous plan on behalf of Muslim leaders to invite Amir Amannulla of Afghanistan to invade India.
Swords and cannons define the boundaries and rights of states!
