Gentlemen, we are not fighting for our narrow sordid self-interest--we are not fighting for the interest of to-day--we are not fighting for the betterment of myself or yourselves--of the present generation or of the educated community. If there are any selfish ideals pursued by any portion of our community, I stand dissociated from them and I say I take my stand on this and nothing more--it does not matter what happens to me--it does not matter what happens to the present generation--it does not matter what happens to the educated community of to-day, but what matters with me is the development of the nation (Cheers.) I look forward to the time when the Bengalee nation will rise and stand in all its glory. I do not care whether I am alive or dead at that moment (Loud Cheers)--whether my children will be living then or not--but the time will come when by God's grace, Bengalees as a nation will make themselves felt and will stand in all their strength and face the world. That is the ideal which appeals to me every moment of my life. I feel within myself that that is my appointed task. I shall devote all that I hold dear to the service of that cause and--if I die in that attempt--what then? "Fail we alone"?--if I die in this work, I believe I shall be born in this country again and again, live for it, hope for it, work for it with all the energy of my life and with all the love of my nature, till I see the fulfilment of my hope and the realisation of this ideal (Loud Cheers). SHALL WE FOLLOW A LEADER OF YESTERDAY EVEN WHEN HE IS WRONG
