Gandhi and Indian Independence

After 21 years in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India in 1915. He became the leader of the Indian nationalist movement campaigning for home rule or Swaraj.

gandhiGandhi successfully instigated a series of non-violent protest. This included national strikes for one or two days. The British sought to ban opposition, but the nature of non-violent protest and strikes made it difficult to counter.

Gandhi also encouraged his followers to practise inner discipline to get ready for independence. Gandhi said the Indians had to prove they were deserving of independence. This is in contrast to independence leaders such as Aurobindo Ghose, who argued that Indian independence was not about whether India would offer better or worse government, but that it was the right for India to have self-government.

Gandhi also clashed with others in the Indian independence movement such as Subhas Chandra Bose who advocated direct action to overthrow the British.

Gandhi frequently called off strikes and non-violent protest if he heard people were rioting or violence was involved.

gandhi-Salt_March

In 1930, Gandhi led a famous march to the sea in protest at the new Salt Acts. In the sea, they made their own salt, in violation of British regulations. Many hundreds were arrested and Indian jails were full of Indian independence followers.

“With this I’m shaking the foundations of the British Empire.”

– Gandhi – after holding up a cup of salt at the end of the salt march.

However, whilst the campaign was at its peak some Indian protesters killed some British civilians, and as a result, Gandhi called off the independence movement saying that India was not ready. This broke the heart of many Indians committed to independence. It led to radicals like Bhagat Singh carrying on the campaign for independence, which was particularly strong in Bengal.

In 1931, Gandhi was invited to London to begin talks with the British government on greater self-government for India, but remaining a British colony. During his three month stay, he declined the government’s offer of a free hotel room, preferring to stay with the poor in the East End of London. During the talks, Gandhi opposed the British suggestions of dividing India along communal lines as he felt this would divide a nation which was ethnically mixed. However, at the summit, the British also invited other leaders of India, such as BR Ambedkar and representatives of the Sikhs and Muslims. Although the dominant personality of Indian independence, he could not always speak for the entire nation.

inn [45]

Answer and Explanation:

The reason why Zinn opined that we shouldn't trust histories written from point of view of Governments and leaders is that they tend to use attempts through politics and culture, to ensnare ordinary people in a giant web of nationhood hiding under the canopy of common interest.

Write a letter to the district commissioner explaining how his attitude toward the ibo people is based on cultural misunderstand
KIM [24]

Answer:

Dear district commissioner,

I am writing this letter with the aim of alerting you to cultural errors in relation to the Ibo people, who may place you with an ignorant person, without culture and intolerant of people of different ethnicities. As I know that these adjectives do not suit you, I want to share some things that I know about the Ibo people.

You say that the Ibo people came together to harass other people, to burn people's houses and their place of worship. However, there are several historical documents that state that the Igbo people are usually peaceful and tolerant, which allows us to think that they were provoked before causing any harm to society.

Another thing I would like to comment on is that you say that you have already spent a lot of time in Africa and that you have met many different ethnic groups. This gave him enough experience to know that a district commissioner should never attend to unworthy details like cutting a hanger from the tree. However, you must know that each African ethnic group has different customs, cultures and concepts, therefore, not everything you learned from an ethnic group applies to how you should act with the Ibo people.

I suppose, then, that you should spend more time with representatives of the Ibo people, to learn about their culture and customs and not make any mistakes.
