The Englishman was free but his freedom he used to snatch the freedom of others, colonise them, hold them by force in bondage. Freedom the Englishman cherished indeed to despoil the lives of so many others and keep them in their own lands in servile captivity!
It took a long line of revolutionaries for nearly a century to shake off the British yoke, their cumulative effort writ in letters of blood culminating in the eventual assault of the Indian National Army against the colonial masters which helped evict them from the motherland. The failed attempt of the INA, nonetheless, bore fruition in the subsequent revolts of the British Indian Armed Forces who took the cue from the INA and led the country to a state where further administration by the British by use of force against the Indians became an untenable proposition and the colonists left in a hurry but not before they had dealt the death-blow to the liberated landmass by partitioning it among warring peoples.
The British achieved a long-term political advantage in partitioning India into two inimical nations who would forever continue to fight, debilitating each other and creating the perfect field for the Anglo-American consortium to pursue their new mode of economic exploitation what has been termed neocolonialism.
