The growth of mass resistance among the Indian workers is not limited to the railroad and textile strikers, reports state. But from Madras to Simla, among industrial workers and small peasants the feeling of unrest is on the rise.

In other quarters, Gandhi's move is viewed as a shrewd effort to utilize the growing mass unrest in India for personal political purposes.
