Question 8
The democratic movement in the 19th century moved Gandhi immensely. He realized that democracy is the only solution for harmonizing the interest of the state and for the individuals. However, the western democracy adopted exploitation of the Indian in terms of racial discrimination and implemented capital exploitations. This is when he realized that an ideal state following the path of non-violence can only be possible through self-governing. Gandhi accepted that the individual’s freedom is the truth essence for achieving democracy. Despite his decision, Gandhi also observed that the unrestricted individualism resulted in social restraints in the name of the well-being of the society.
He was not satisfied with simply the transform of power from the hands of western capitalist to the hand of Indians, which resembled simple the transfer of power from ruler to the other. He believes with Swaraj or democracy the power will be entrusted to the people of India to evolve as a population. Gandhi observed that the end of the rule of foreign capitalist would not result in the end of the evils that ere associated will the society. The imperfection within the Indian society was only due to the western rule rather it was due to the way life was in India.
He realized that Swaraj could only be possible in the real sense only when it will be affecting the internal society as well as the political scenario in India. This is where Gandhi dreamt of a new India before a free India. In one hand Gandhi struggled to secure India from the bondage of imperialism on the other hand, Gandhi wanted that the free country would have the ability to provide every individual the freedom of eating, drinking and speech with no distinction among the individuals in terms of religion or race (Fischer, Chapter 14).
Question 11
Mahatma Gandhi was a person of simple nature with a strong personality who have influenced all around the world. He had a big contribution towards the freedom movement of India and ignited the spirit of freedom, among the minds of Indians, which led to the downfall of British Empire. He followed the path of non-violence and that led to inspire millions to follow his path and participate in freedom movement. Due to this feat, Gandhi was always being respected and that led to his glorification and later on deification of Gandhi has been done, which means he was respected as a god.
He never actually believed to be treated as god because he followed the life of simplicity and whatever he is doing is actually serving the mother nation. He knew he was a human being and human being can be right and wrong. Hence, if he being glorified and treated as god then if some mistake ever happens from his end then the faith level of people towards the movement he has started will be suffered and the entire fight for freedom movement will be compromised. He always believed nation is greater than he is and with that philosophy, he ignited the feeling to sacrifice their life for the freedom of nation. He further knew that many people do not believe his path and follow the non-violence path to fight with the British.
Hence, it is wise enough not to glorify himself and consider equivalent to god and that he used to ask peoples to do the same. He believed that glorifying a person would certainly induce a sense of pride within himself no matter what principles that person follow he will at one time will feel superior. Gandhi feared that if the extreme glorification and considering him equivalent to god will create a sense of above all, which would hamper his simplicity, through which he motivated peoples and that will derail the freedom movement from its path (Fischer, Chapter 1).
Question 13
During the time of protest against salt tax when several congress leaders were arrested including Jawaharlal Nehru. During this period of time, Gandhi decided to initiate invasions in the salt factories built by the British authorities. However, he was arrested and was sent to prison. Nevertheless, Gandhi’s followers decided to continue with the plan for the Dandi march on 21 March. Dharasana Salt Works was guarded with 400 Indian police officers and it was decided by the followers that none of the protester will retaliated against the torture. The six British officers with 400 Indian police officers had steel plated stick, which they hit on the protester’s head.
However, the protesters silently took the blow. As a consequence, many of the protested were injured with fractured skull and two of them were killed. Despite the torture, the protesters continued their march. The news of the brutal attacks on the Indians immediately started spreading all over the world. The incident appeared in at least 1000 different type of newspapers all around the world. On one side, the Indians got great praises for their courage while the British force receives condemnation. The brutality, with which they retaliated against the non-violent protesters, was discussed globally and it affected the prestige of British force.
According to Rabindranath Tagore, who proclaimed in one of the British newspapers— The Manchester Guardian, that with their brutality British has lost their glory and moral prestige in Asia forever. Further, with the end of the Salt March, the non-cooperation of the Indians was accelerated. This resulted in imprisonment of 100000 protesters. This situation pushed the British Prime Minister to sign a pact with Gandhi promising the release of protesters and gave the permission of production of salt independently. This was the first step of Indians towards the path of freedom. Despite several crushing measures that were implemented by the British force, the protester continued their struggle to freedom (Fischer, Chapter...
