Modi meets Netaji's oldest living associate !

Right!!!
I told you that i consider all the 3 reasons(which were mentioned by me ) equally important.
And I still doubt that if WWII had not happened British would have left so many colonies within a decade.

This is why I gave the example of Portuguese. There was no extensive movement against them, so they had to be forced out.

Or look at it this way that Portuguese had a small part of India in their hands and they did not have trouble running it.So they didnot want to leave it.

Granting dominion status to its white settlements like Ireland,Australia or New Zealand and a type of autonomy to its colonies like Egypt already started during first world war. Within the first quarter of twenteith century It was realized in London that without taking the native political aristocrats In to confidence, retaining the colonies would be virtually impossible.
Unfortunately, none of the Indian leaders like Gandhi, Nehru or Netaji did not have enough political vision that with the US intervention along with its lend lease treaty with Britain it became practically implausible for the crown to keep its jewel after the second war. No offence to any leader but without any of the extreme measure adopted by them during 40's Indian independence was not a distant dream.

Exactly. Colonial powers would have kept colonies if they weren't trouble to keep. British economy was in ruins. They needed money. If it wasn't for all the movements, India was a great source of money. They would have kept it had it wasn't trouble running, after all, it would have fueled their economy!

Here we go around the mulberry bush.
@Kloitra i think we both mean the same thing.Its just that you favor Gandhi more.
