Images - Photographs - Personalities - Mahatma Gandhi - 1921-1922 • To become independent of British cloth, spinning wheels were distributed in the whole country. At a demonstration, in 1921, more than 150,000 pieces of foreign cloth were burned at a public burning in Mumbai. The spinning wheel was described by Gandhi as the Sacrament of India . The Indian National Congress incorporated it in the independence flag. It became a symbol for Swadeshi, economic independence, which Gandhi and his co-fighters strived for, parallel to Swaraj, political independence. In Ahmedabad, Gandhi founded the university, Gujarat Vidyapith in 1920, which was to help in preparing the youth for independence and to raise self-confident people. Within the scope of the nonviolent movement, repeated clashes occured, to which the British reacted with violent measures and arrests. In the small town of Chauri Chaura, the police ill-treated the demonstrators of a protest rally, whereupon the furious masses killed 21 policemen. As a reaction to this orgy of violence, Gandhi ended the campaign for non co-operation and went on a five-day atonement fast. He was subsequently arrested and sentenced to six years imprisonment on the grounds that he was responsible for the uprising and for agitating the masses against the British government. • Initiated by GandhiServe India, in an interdisciplinary project Gandhi scholars, historians, photo experts and graphic designers joined hands in order to turn black and white photographs into colour images, thus making them true documents of history. After scanning, all photographs have been cleaned digitally and colourized by skilled Indian hands according to the historic settings. When the photographs were taken the actual colourful scenes were reduced to black and white photographs due to technical limitations of those days. Now in a complex process Indian experts add the missing colours. With this the intention is not to manipulate or adulterate pictures but to bring them closer to the colourful image the photograph documents. • Captions and more information: • http://www.gandhimedia.org/cgi-bin/gm... • Copyright: GandhiServe - https://www.gandhiserve.org • For high res versions without watermark, licensing enquiries and other usage requests please use the Licensing Request Form: https://www.gandhiserve.net/gandhiser... • Contact: [email protected] • Digital mastering: Peter Rühe • ---------------- Visit --------------- • GandhiServe - https://www.gandhiserve.org/ • GandhiMedia - https://www.gandhimedia.org/ • The GandhiServe Archives - http://www.gs-a.org • GandhiServe’s YouTube channel: / gandhiserve
