English Question on Indigo
What was the attitude of the average Indian in smaller localities towards advocates of ‘home rule’?
Answer
The average Indians in smaller localities were afraid to show sympathy for the advocates of home-rule. Gandhi stayed at Muzaffarpur for two days in the home of professor Malkani, a teacher in a government school. It was an extraordinary thing in those days for a government professor to give shelter to one who opposed the government.
