Which of the following American journalists accompanied Mahatma Gandhi on the Dandi March?

    Brailsford

  2. b.

    Ellen Wilkinson

  3. c.

    Webb Miller

    Correct answer
  4. d.

    Vince Walker

Explanation

  • While in India, Webb Miller met and became friends with Mohandas Gandhi.
  • Gandhi was launching the Salt Satyagraha and Miller stayed to cover the event. Miller witnessed the raid on the Dharasana Salt Works on May 12, 1930, in which more than 1,300 unarmed Indians were severely beaten and several deaths occurred.
  • Miller's report helped turn world opinion against the British occupation of India. Gandhi himself later said that Miller "helped make" Indian independence through his eyewitness report.
  • Webb Miller, the American journalist, whose account of the Dharasana Satyagraha was to carry the flavour of Indian nationalism to many distant lands, and whose description of the resolute heroism of the Satyagrahis demonstrated effectively that non- violent resistance was no meek affair, summed up his impressions in these words: ‘In eighteen years of my reporting in twenty countries, during which I have witnessed innumerable civil disturbances, riots, street fights and rebellions, I have never witnessed such harrowing scenes as at Dharasana.’
