Leaving the British isles behind for now, I'm going to be spending the next couple of episodes covering its empire's crown jewel, India. The turn of the decade to the 30s saw the British Raj in crisis as laws confirming the colony's system of government had to be approved, and the Indians were not about to have the status quo get reaffirmed. Resistance would materialize in the form of Gandhi's celebrated Salt Satyagraha, but that would merely be the first round in the renewed struggle with the British authorities.    Bibliography for this episode:  Sarkar, Sumit Modern India 1885-1947 Macmillan India Ltd 1983Brown, Judith Modern India: The Origins of an Asian Democracy Oxford University Press 1994 Questions?
