Mahatma Gandhi
[Third of 5 pages]
Owing to his poor health, Gandhi was released from prison in 1925.
Over the following years, he worked hard to preserve Hindu-Muslim
relations, and in 1924 he observed, from his prison cell, a 21-day
fast when Hindu-Muslim riots broke out at Kohat, a military
barracks on the Northwest Frontier. This was to be of his many
major public fasts, and in 1932 he was to commence the so-called
Epic Fast unto death, since he thought of "separate electorates" for
the oppressed class of what were then called untouchables (or
Harijans in Gandhi's vocabulary, and dalits in today's language) as a
retrograde measure meant to produce permanent divisions within
Hindu society. Gandhi earned the hostility of Ambedkar, the leader
of the untouchables, but few doubted that Gandhi was genuinely
interested in removing the serious disabilities from which they suffered, just as no one doubt that Gandhi never
accepted the argument that Hindus and Muslims constituted two separate elements in Indian society. These were
some of the concerns most prominent in Gandhi's mind, but he was also to initiate a constructive programme for
social reform. Gandhi had ideas -- mostly sound -- on every subject, from hygiene and nutrition to education and
labor, and he relentlessly pursued his ideas in one of the many newspapers which he founded. Indeed, were
Gandhi known for nothing else in India, he would still be remembered as one of the principal figures in the
history of Indian journalism.
In early 1930, as the nationalist movement was revived, the
Indian National Congress, the preeminent body of nationalist
opinion, declared that it would now be satisfied with nothing
short of complete independence (purna swaraj). Once the clarion
call had been issued, it was perforce necessary to launch a
movement of resistance against British rule. On March 2, Gandhi
addressed a letter to the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, informing him that
unless Indian demands were met, he would be compelled to break
the "salt laws". Predictably, his letter was received with
bewildered amusement, and accordingly Gandhi set off, on the
early morning of March 12, with a small group of followers
towards Dandi on the sea. They arrived there on April 5th: Gandhi picked up a small lump of natural salt, and so
gave the signal to hundreds of thousands of people to similarly defy the law, since the British exercised a
monopoly on the production and sale of salt. This was the beginning of the civil disobedience movement:
Gandhi himself was arrested, and thousands of others were also hauled into jail. It is to break this deadlock that
Irwin agreed to hold talks with Gandhi, and subsequently the British agreed to hold a Round Table Conference
in London to negotiate the possible terms of Indian independence. Gandhi went to London in 1931 and met
some of his admirers in Europe, but the negotiations proved inconclusive. On his return to India, he was once
again arrested.
