Images - Photographs - Personalities - Mahatma Gandhi - 1942-1943
In 1942 the British war cabinet sent a delegation to India to discuss independence after the war. The proposals were however rejected as not acceptable by all parties and groups. With that the prospects for freedom appeared gloomy and pushed further away. In the course of war, the Japanese threatened an invasion and the Quit India movement took shape in Gandhi's mind. The working committee of the Indian National Congress agreed at a meeting on August 7, 1942 in Mumbai with Gandhi's opinion that India's dependence on the British weakened its defence and announced that the British rule in India now finally had to end. In a long speech, Gandhi urged the British to leave India now in an orderly fashion and gave his nonviolent freedom fighters the slogan 'Do or Die'. Inspite of the press censorship, the slogan spread like wildfire and it resulted in revolts all over the country. The committees of the Indian National Congress were declared as illegal and their members arrested. Gandhi, his wife Kasturba, his secretary Mahadev Desai, his English co-worker Madeleine Slade, who got the name Mirabehn from Gandhi, were also arrested and imprisoned in Pune without trial.
Initiated by GandhiServe India, in an interdisciplinary project Gandhi scholars, historians, photo experts and graphic designers joined hands in order to turn black and white photographs into colour images, thus making them true documents of history. After scanning, all photographs have been cleaned digitally and colourized by skilled Indian hands according to the historic settings. When the photographs were taken the actual colourful scenes were reduced to black and white photographs due to technical limitations of those days. Now in a complex process Indian experts add the missing colours. With this the intention is not to manipulate or adulterate pictures but to bring them closer to the colourful image the photograph documents.
