On March 18, 1922, Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule, was sentenced to six years in prison for his involvement in civil disobedience activities. The specific incident that led to Gandhi's imprisonment was his involvement in the nonviolent civil disobedience campaign known as the Non-Cooperation Movement, which aimed to resist British rule through nonviolent means such as boycotts, strikes, and protests.
Gandhi's imprisonment was a significant moment in the struggle for Indian independence, as it further galvanized support for the movement both within India and internationally. Despite being incarcerated, Gandhi continued to advocate for nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as powerful tools for social and political change. His imprisonment symbolized the sacrifices made by countless Indians in the pursuit of freedom and self-determination.
