This final chapter argues that the emergence of a mass popular anticolonial movement in India can be located to the point at which mercy was rejected and subjects of empire began to demand punishment without reduced sentences or pardons. In doing so, the chapter focuses on the Noncooperation Movement (NCM) (1920–1922) and, in particular, the role played by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The NCM was the largest political movement for swaraj or self-rule that India had ever seen. As the leader of this movement, Gandhi would demand that noncooperators refuse mercy, and if necessary, sacrifice their lives in pursuit of political freedom. For Gandhi, it was only by reclaiming the right to die a political death that the satyagrahi could finally escape the label of the criminal and the category of rebellion.
