"In Peshawar the satyagraha was led by a Muslim Pashto disciple of Gandhi, Ghaffar Khan. Ghaffar Khan had trained an army of non-violent activists, called Khudai Khitmatgar. On April 23, 1930, Ghaffar Khan was arrested. A crowd of Khudai Khitmatgar gathered in Peshawar's Kissa Khani Bazaar. The British opened fire on the unarmed crowd and shot hundreds of Khudai Khitmatgar and other demonstrators. One British Indian Army regiment refused to fire at the crowds. According to some accounts, the crowd acted in accord with their training in non-violence. As people in the front fell, those behind came forward to expose themselves to the firing. The shooting continued from 11 AM until 5 PM."

"Dharasana Satyagraha was the next stage in Salt Satyagraha by Mahatma Gandhi. After making salt at Dandi, Gandhi decided to take over The Dharsana Salt Works at Dharsana in Gujrat, this was convyed to the British Viceroy on May 4, 1930. Mahatma Gandhi was arrested immediately. However the Indian National Congress decided to continue with the proposed plan of action. Many of the Congress leaders were arrested before the planned day, including Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. However, the peaceful agitaion continued under the leadership of Sarojini Naidu and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Hundreds of Congress volunteers started marching towards the site of The Dharsana Salt Works and after being warned, they were beaten up brutally by the local police. At the end the Congress workers were not able to take over the factory. However the event created an international uproar.

American Journalist's report who was an eye-witness

Suddenly at a word of command scores of native policemen rushed upon the marchers and rained blows on their heads with their lathis (heavy wooden sticks with iron bands on them). Not one of the marchers even raised an arm to fend off the blows. They went down like ninepins. I heard the sickening whack of clubs on unprotected skulls. There was no fight, no struggle, the marchers simply walked forward until struck down."

Nonviolent resistence frequently results in a violent reaction from the authorities. Nonviolent resistence does not mean avoiding confrontation and the battle most certainly is physical. Nonviolent resistence means exactly the plain meaning of those words: resistence to authority using nonviolent tactis.
