INDIAN UNREST.
“ IHE TIMES ” SERVICE
GANDHI’S SENTENCE. .Kceived This Dav at s.-SO a.m.! DELHI, March 20,
Gandhi’s sentence created little excitement. Partial hartals have been declared in various localities, but. tlieie is no organised mourning, partially attributable to the fact that Gandhi is a Hindu and Mohammedans remember that Hindus did not demonstrate wheu Ali Brothers who are Mohammedans were sentenced.
The newspapers are surprised at the length of the sentence. Moderate native papers are still convinced that the arrest and sentence were a great mistake, which the Government will regret. The non-co-operation movement is dying of inanition. After the suspension, of the disobeyance, and now the treatment of Gandhi is tantamount to martyrdom, giving a fresh impetus to a frankly seditious movement. From gaol, Gandhi issued a farewell message enjoining his -followers to preach and practise non-violence, while Mrs Gandhi says though sorry her husband has been incarcerated, his release . is securable through strict attention to his behests and programme for Swaraj.
