Mahatma Gandhi, a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule, was arrested in 1922 as part of the British government's crackdown on civil disobedience campaigns. Gandhi advocated for non-violent resistance and had previously led the Non-Cooperation Movement, which aimed to peacefully protest against British laws and policies. His call for boycotts of British goods and institutions was gaining significant traction among the Indian populace, prompting the British authorities to respond with legal measures. On March 10, Gandhi was charged with sedition, accused of inciting rebellion against British authority. During a trial marked by Gandhi's unwavering stance against injustice, he was sentenced to six years in prison. However, due to a medical emergency involving appendicitis, Gandhi was released after serving nearly two years. His release for medical treatment not only illustrated his importance to the independence movement but also drew widespread attention to the struggle for India's sovereignty. During his imprisonment, Gandhi's ideas gained even greater international recognition, establishing him as a key figure in global movements for civil rights and freedom.
