Throw light on the Jabalpur Jhanda Satyagraha (1923).

The Jabalpur Flag Satyagraha (1923 - झंडा सत्याग्रह):

Originating in Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) in March 1923, the Jhanda Satyagraha was a historic nationwide movement for the honor and right to unfurl the Indian National Tricolour:

• 1. The Ignition in Jabalpur (March 1923):
  • To welcome the Congress Inquiry Committee, municipal leaders sought to hoist the National Flag on the Jabalpur Town Hall.
  • British Deputy Commissioner ordered the police to pull down the tricolour, insult it, and trample it under boots, triggering nationwide outrage.
• 2. Leadership and Mass Arrests:
  • Spearheaded in Jabalpur by Pandit Sunderlal, Nathuram Modi, Subhadra Kumari Chauhan (first woman to be arrested), and Premchand Jain.
  • When local leaders were imprisoned, the epicenter shifted to Nagpur under the national leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Jamnalal Bajaj.
• 3. Glorious Victory (August 1923):
  • Thousands of satyagrahis courted arrest holding the tricolour; the British Government surrendered in August 1923, granting unconditional permission for a triumphant public flag procession.
