Video: 'Mahatma Gandhi arrested - Bombay, January 4, 1932'

(Monday, January 4, 1932, 3:05 a.m. India Standard Time; during the Indian independence movement) — One week after his return to India following the failed Second Roundtable Conference in London, Mahatma Gandhi, the pre-eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement, was arrested early today for the second time within a year and a half, and Nationalist India once more girded itself for a non-violent war on Great Britain.

Gandhi was arrested as he slept on the stone floor of his tattered tent atop one of Bombay’s tenements and imprisoned in Yerwada Central Jail in Pune.
