India Wins Freedom - pg. 74

"... It is manifest that the present Government of India as well as its provincial agencies, are lacking in competence, and are incapable of shouldering the burden of India's defence. It is only the people of India, through their popular representatives, who may shoulder this burden worthily. But that can only be done by present freedom, and full responsibility upon them.
The Committee, therefore, are unable to accept the proposals put forward on behalf of the British War Cabinet."
