ABSTRACT

The Satyagraha Committee saw that the Indians’ resistance was being offered only against the Black Act, and that if the Black Act was once repealed, the Immigration Restriction Act would lose its sting. Seeing that the Immigration Act was included in the Satyagraha struggle, some Indians, ignorant of the principles of Satyagraha, insisted upon the whole mass of the anti-Indian legislation in the Transvaal being similarly treated. Since Satyagraha was made to embrace the Immigration Act as well, Satyagrahis had to test the right of educated Indians to enter the Transvaal. The Committee decided that the test should be made through any ordinary Indian. The Administration therefore saw no sense in prosecuting them simply in order to send them to jail, and thought that the Satyagrahi workers would cool down if they found no outlet for their energies, in view of the masterly inactivity of the Government.
