Solution
Gandhiji has protested against the salt law of the British. He had formed a satyagraha movement for the same. Many of the peaceful protestors were beaten and jailed by the British. This led to many other movements as well. One such movement was Khuda-i-Khidmatgar by Khan Abdul Gafar Khan. It was a Pashtun nonviolent movement against the British. It was originally initiated as a social reform for the progress of education and removal of a blood feud. This was also called ‘Red Shirts’. However, it became more political as most of its members became targets of the British. Gaffar Khan was arrested, and demonstrations began in Peshawar for his freedom.
To solve this issue, the Royal Garhwal Rifles were asked to board the buses that would take them to Peshawar, where they were ordered to open fire on the protestors and cause a riot. Chandrasingh Thakur was the commander of this army. He refused to do so and was court-martialled and severely punished.
