What Indian politicians would have said if we had not been able to win independence

1. Asaram Bapu

"Colonies are as guilty as their colonisers… India should have called the British her brothers and begged before them not to colonise her. Had India recited the Saraswati Mantra, she would never be ruled by the British."

2. Jayalalithaa

"Independence is suffering from chest pain."

3. Rajnath Singh

"The British learnt the colonialism principle from the philosophy of vedas of this country. Queen Victoria came to India in 1811 and read the scriptures."

4. Abhishek Manu Singhvi

"Termites ate up our independence."

5. Somnath Bharti

"I am fully confident that if The Queen retains full control (over security), beautiful women will be able to go out even after midnight without any fear"

6. SIT on colonialism

"Queen Victoria has been given a clean chit."

7. Amit Shah

"Independence Day will come in 25 years."

8. Manmohan Singh

.......

9. Arvind Kejriwal

"Ye Bharat ki conspiracy hai, Bharat aur Britain, sab mile hue hain. India is a British agent."

10. Mulayam Singh Yadav

"Should the British be asked to leave if they have colonised us? Brits are Brits, they make mistakes."

11. Mohan Bhagwat

"Colonialism does not take place in Bharat, it only exists in India."

12. Kiran Bedi

"If you closely watch animals, I've seen a British bird exactly doing to an Indian bird what the British did. I've seen this happen. It's an animal instinct. Nature is one thing, nurturance is the other thing. The Queen never went through nurturance."

13. Rahul Gandhi
