You cannot argue with yahoogle on this since, I think, he is from the Indian sub continent for havinf to know about the "village panchayats.". The "panchayat" system still exists in India today and the British tried to subvert this. Or else why would Gandhi fight for freedom. Here is an excerpt:

(3) Mahatma Gandhi, interviewed by Louis Fischer (June, 1942)

The cry of "Quit India" has arisen from a realization of the fact that if India is to shoulder the burden of representing or fighting for the cause of mankind, she must have the glow of freedom now. Has a freezing man ever been warmed by the promise of the warmth of the sunshine coming at some future date? If the British wish to document their right to win the war and make the world better, they must purify themselves by surrendering power in India. We are asked to fight for democracy in Germany, Italy and Japan. How can we when we haven't got it ourselves? I do not want Japan to win. I do not want the Axis to win. But I am sure that Britain cannot win unless the Indian people become free. Britain is weaker and Britain is morally indefensible while she rules India.
