Explanation
Kishorlal Ghanshyamlal Mashruwala (5 October 1890 – 9 September 1952) was an Indian independence activist as well as a biographer, essayist, and translator. Following the arrest of Gandhi, Mashruwala took over as the editor of Harijan and shared his views on the form the protests should take. He stated that while violent actions such as looting or burning offices, banks, and granaries were unacceptable, peaceful disruptions of traffic and communication—without endangering lives—could be justified. Mashruwala emphasized that organizing strikes was the most effective way to protest. He also believed that actions like cutting wires, removing railway tracks, or damaging small bridges could be permissible in such a struggle, provided sufficient precautions were taken to ensure no harm to life.
