In 1932 the Viceroy, Lord Willingdon, after the failure of the three Round Table Conferences (India) in London, now confronted Gandhi's Congress in action. The India Office told Willingdon that he should conciliate only those elements of Indian opinion that were willing to work with the Raj. That did not include Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, which launched its Civil Disobedience Movement on 4 January 1932. Therefore, Willingdon took decisive action.[28] He imprisoned Gandhi. He outlawed the Congress; he rounded up all members of the Working Committee and the Provincial Committees and imprisoned them; and he banned Congress youth organisations. In total he imprisoned 80,000 Indian activists. Without most of their leaders, protests were uneven and disorganised, boycotts were ineffective, illegal youth organisations proliferated but were ineffective, more women became involved, and there was terrorism, especially in the North-West Frontier Province. Gandhi remained in prison until 1933.[29][30] Willingdon relied on his military secretary, Hastings Ismay, for his personal safety.[31]

The Partition of 1947 which drastically ruptured the geographic
and social structure of the subcontinent and whose imprint on
demographic, social, and cultural landscapes is profound and long
term, has ever since compelled academicians, historians,
researchers to unearth those times by embracing novel
perspectives. Newspapers, journals, and pamphlets seriously call
for attention if one seeks to understand how the idea of division is
immediately recorded, interpreted, analyzed, and criticized in the
years around 1947.
