We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally, and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence. ' ($\displaystyle 12.1$) Why was freedom considered an inalienable right of the Indian people? ($\displaystyle 12.2$) Why was Purna Swaraj considered essential by the people of India?
