31st Arrest Followers Gandhi Hours Prisoner Waving Shows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a poignant moment in the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the legendary Indian freedom fighter, just hours before his arrest on December 7, 1930. In the image, Gandhi is seen waving to his devoted followers with an expression of determination and hope, despite the impending danger that awaited him. The date of this photograph marks the beginning of the Salt Satyagraha, also known as the Salt March, a significant civil disobedience movement against the British salt tax in India. Gandhi's nonviolent resistance movement, which began in South Africa and continued in India, inspired millions of people around the world. His unwavering commitment to the cause of Indian independence from British rule led him to endure numerous hardships, including imprisonment multiple times. This arrest, which occurred on the 31st day of the Salt March, was one of the most notable in his long and storied career as a political and spiritual leader. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the power of nonviolent resistance and the indomitable spirit of Gandhi and his followers. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for justice, equality, and freedom, and serves as an inspiration for future generations to continue the struggle for a more just and equitable world. This photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the history of India's struggle for independence and the life of Mahatma Gandhi. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
