Millions of Indians heededhis call. They bought and publicly set British goods onfire, exhorting others to do so as well. Urmila Shastriwas one such woman who joined the SatyagrahaMovement while volunteering for the Congress inthe Meerut. She was arrested on 17 July 1930 on chargesof picketing and instigating university students againstthe government and put on trial. The Britishmagistrate asked her to apologize so that he could acquit her. She chose to go to jail for sixmonths. She went to jail again during Quit India Movement of 1942. This time she fellseriously ill, was denied proper treatment, and became witness to the inhuman atrocitiesfreedom fighters and other prisoners suffered at the hands of the jail officials. She wasreleased after serving her sentence. Shastri died with a smile on her face and Gandhi'sdream in her heart. Disturbing yet inspiring, Urmila Shastri's prison diary My Days inPrison brings alive the fascinating era that led up to the freedom of India. |
