Siege of Delhi
Non-violent/non-cooperation- This Indians form a mob to walk to the gate of the British. They go up slowly four at a time as the British beat them down one by one. The Indians never fought back. “The moral ascendancy that the west held was here today gone.” -
Indigo Revolt
Economic regulations- Indians are forced to grow indigo and pay for their rent in cash to their British landlor. This was difficult because the British are making and buying cloth from England leaving the Indians with nothing to sell. This shows how much the British don’t care about the economic prosperation of the Indians, and keet their cloth trade causing the Indians to feel oppressed. -
Gandhi was kicked off the train

Swadeshi Movement

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre
Injustice- The British opened fire at an indian gathering that were practicing Gandhis beliefs. Almost all of the Indians were killed including men women and children (1,516).

The general wanted them to quit revolting against the British Empire. -
Gandhi Arrested
The British continuously put Gandhi under arrest because he issued a non-violent campaigne. There is nothing the law can do to him but the police continue to find excuses to put in prison. This is because the British want to get Gandhi out of the public and stop if from influencing other Indians. -
Salt March
Injustice- Gnadhi goes tot he ocean to make salt, and the british see this as a threat to their salt market. The British arrested everyone involved with the salt selling. Even the wives mothers and children of the salesman. This is how the British attempt to keep power and order. -
Salt March
Salutary neglect- Gandhi is going to walk 240 miles the sea to make salt on the anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It is a symbol of how the Indians know how to live off the land and will live the way they want whether the law allows it or not. Gandhi is also doing it to prove that the British can do whatever they like but the Indians are the ones “in control”. -
Round Table Conference
The British invite Gandhi to an all government meeting in London to discuss the possible independence of India. The British did this because they are getting tired of the Indians rebelling and hope that the hope of independence will stop Indians riots. They wanted the Hindu and Muslims to be treated equally in return for the release of Indian prisoners, -
