The Britishers had never been confronted with a more formidable foe.
His regime begins in the midst of war against the English, and ends in the midst of war
against them. He never deviated from his goal,
never compromised himself to the
main principles of his life , and never submitted himself to the supremacy of any foreign
power. His plan of action to free India from colonial shackles forms an illustrious
chapter of our history. He used all his means, energy, strength and resources not sparing
even his life for the freedom of the land. Even in his dreams he remained engaged in a
bitter fight against the English.His maxim was that "it
was far better to live like a lion for a day than to live like a jackal for a hundred
years".
