Meerut Conspiracy Case
The Meerut Conspiracy Case was a controversial court case initiated in British India in March 1929 and decided in 1933. Several trade unionists, including three Englishmen were arrested for organizing an Indian railway strike. The trial immediately caught attention back home in England, inspired the 1932 play titled ''Meerut'', by Manchester street theatre group the 'Red Megaphones', highlighting the detrimental effects of colonisation and industrialisation.〔(''Meerut'' 1932 play, by Manchester street theatre group the Red Megaphones ) ''Working Class Movement Library''.〕
==Background==
The British Government was clearly worried about the growing influence of the Communist International. Its ultimate objective, so the government perceived, was to achieve "complete paralysis and overthrow of existing Governments in every country (including India) by means of a general strike and armed uprising."〔
The government's immediate response was to foist yet another conspiracy case—the Meerut Conspiracy Case.
In more than one way the Meerut Conspiracy case trial helped the Communist Party of India to consolidate its position among workers. Dange along with 32 persons were arrested on or about 20 March 1929 〔 and were put on trial under Section 121A of the Indian Penal Code, which declares: Whoever within or without British India conspires to commit any of the offenses punishable by Section 121 or to deprive the King of the sovereignty of British India or any part thereof, or conspires to overawe, by means of criminal force or the show of criminal force, the Government of India or any local Government, shall be punished with transportation for life,〔During the British rule, a severe form of punishment was banishing convicts to a penal settlement in Andaman Islands.〕 or any shorter term, or with imprisonment of either description which may extend to ten years.
