- Detective Inspector Swain: You knew him... very well. Would you say that you were... just a friend or... maybe a little more than that? Hmm?
- Eileen Palmer: Don't you think that's personal?
- Udham Singh: When a country punishes a person, you quote the law... but when a country commits crime against another country, would your law call it a crime?
- Bhagat Singh: They call us rebels. If asking for your rights, is being rebellious, then, yes, we are rebels!
- Udham Singh: I need help. I fight for freedom of my people.
- Eileen Palmer: Fight for the freedom of the whole world.
- Udham Singh: World... umm... no... You equal, you march for being equal. I no equal. I... I no free. First my country free. Then, equal, then march, equality.
- Bhagat Singh: So, you've converted to being a socialist. Love for humanity, that's what it's all about.
- Bhagat Singh: There is a difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary. A significant difference. A revolutionary's action is symbolic, meant to register a protest. Their motive is not to create fear. On the contrary, they inspire to fight for rights. People's own rights.
- Michael O'Dwyer: Fear is a deterrent. Mutiny was brewing. There would have been another river in the Punjab. A sixth river... a river of blood. 1857 all over again. Fear was the key... and fear worked.
- Bhagat Singh: You will never earn your rights, unless you rise up in protest or fight the oppressors.
- King George VI: After the war... will the crown... quit India?
- Winston Churchill: Let us just say... we will need to reinvent... a way of maintaining our strategic presence... in the subcontinent.
- Bhagat Singh: A true revolutionary has to follow certain tenets. You cannot be prejudiced, nor communal, nor casteist. There is no economic or social class difference. The only truth... is equality. Equality. To treat all humans as equals, with a strong belief in humanity.
- Michael O'Dwyer: They deserved it. You can't rise in rebellion and expect a medal. You got what was coming.
- Eileen Palmer: If you want the freedom of your people... you should be there, not here... Go back... Go home... and fight shoulder to shoulder with them.
- John Hutchison: So you left the job?
- Udham Singh: Otherwise I would have killed him. But that would not have registered as a protest. It would be construed as a crime against an employer, and that would have tainted the credibility of all workers.
- Udham Singh: We are humans as well! Don't we all deserve to be equal? We are treated as slaves! Disrespected, not valued at all!
- Udham Singh: Every leaf, every shrub knows of my state. Only the flower remains ignorant. The entire garden knows.
- Public Prosecutor: It's a clear admission of guilt, my Lord. May I suggest we proceed with the sentencing?
- John Hutchison: The defense has not spoken, your Lordship.
- Public Prosecutor: The murderer has spoken enough!
- Udham Singh: Your entire British empire is a trading company... that has turned into an imperialistic power, ruling us illegally and forcefully!
- Udham Singh: You are scared of him. Not me. He is scared of the manager; manager, of the owner; and the owner, of the regime. And finally, the oppressor seated at the top, rules everyone with fear! And they are doing the same back home in India as well!
- Udham Singh: I will kill you, bloody imperialists!
- Factory Supervisor: What are you doing? Get out! Get out!
- Udham Singh: You get out of my country! Get out of my country!
- Udham Singh: Robbing people of their freedom, is futile. Today, you snatch one man's freedom... tomorrow, another will rob yours.
- Udham Singh: Will this murder be considered a protest... or this protest be considered a murder by your British law?
- Justice Atkinson: Accused Udham Singh, do you plead guilty or not guilty? Accused Udham Singh, do you plead guilty or not...
- Udham Singh: I plead not guilty. Not guilty... Dwyer was guilty. You are guilty, your policies are guilty.
- Udham Singh: I'm telling you it was a protest... against you... You you you Britishers have plundered us... divided us... looted us, robbed us of all dignity... finished our economy!
- Justice Atkinson: That's enough!
- Udham Singh: Yes, that is enough! It is time for you to leave my country!
- Udham Singh: When I turned 18, my teacher said to me, 'Son, youth is a gift of God. It's up to you whether you let it wither or give it meaning.' When I see him up there, I shall ask, 'Did I give my youth meaning? Or did I let it go to waste?'
- Udham Singh: I was in prison for four years... but not for a crime.
- Public Prosecutor: Why on earth would anyone be in prison if they had not committed a crime?
- Udham Singh: No no no, no crime. I was fighting! I was fighting, fighting for freedom. Freedom is my birth right, and fighting for freedom is no crime.
- Detective Inspector Swain: Is there anything I can do for you?
- Udham Singh: Yes. Tell people I was a revolutionary.
