"They can have the former only by complete destruction of every Indian-man, woman and child"
Unfortunately this is not a rhetoricallly exaggerated and obviously impossible choice. Settler colonialism exists and relies exactly on this approach. I wonder how certain could Gandhi be that the British wouldn't choose this approach.
