Lord Curzon: A British statesman who served as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905 openly stated:
"India was the most important element in British strength.
As long as we rule India we are the greatest power in the world.
If we lose it, we shall drop straight away to a third-rate power."
And:
in his address in the Great Delhi Durbar in 1901, ““ Powerful Empires existed and flourished here (in India) while Englishmen were still wandering, painted, in the woods, and while the British Colonies were still a wilderness and a jungle. India has left a deeper mark upon the history, the philosophy, and the religion of mankind, than any other terrestrial unit in the universe.”
