“Imperialism, like dictatorship sears the soul, degrades the spirit, and makes individuals small, the better to rule them. Fear and cowardice are its allies. Imperialism is government of other people, by other people, and for other people.
Colonial administration never is, and never can be successful. History has known no good colonisers. Every empire digs its own grave. Imperialism is a perpetual insult, for it assumes that the outsiders has the right to rule the insider who cannot rule themselves, it is thus arrogant nationalism and inevitably begets an opposing nationalism.”
― Life of Mahatma Gandhi
