Q: And finally, is our revolution complete? Or are we still in the midst of it?

A: The end of our revolution has come with the attainment of our freedom. Those of us who fought for the country’s liberty are naturally very happy to see it free and independent. The days of the bomb, the pistol, and the gun are over. We have now to devote ourselves to the consolidation of our hard-won freedom. But our aim of achieving Akhand Hindusthan with its natural boundaries still remains to be fulfilled. I am old now, and the time has come for me to say goodbye to all that! I have served the cause of my country in accordance with the
dictates of my conscience. I am glad that I have lived to see my country free from bondage.

As long as the world lasts, this, our ancient land—this, our great Bharatvarsha, will live in all its glory !
