What does gandhi mean by this quote "send us to prison and we will live there as in paradise"

By this line, Gandhi states that he will fight to continue to fight with peace and passion, that he won’t let law and oppression break him. By throwing him in the prison, he states the government would only confirm that he is loud enough and that they are reacting violently to his peaceful manners.

Explanation:

Gandhi knew that by sending him to prison, the government would have to accept that his actions are being noticed and that he is doing something that is upsetting them.

This was exactly one of the purposes of Gandhi’s civil disobedience – he wanted to be noticed, he wanted to break the law, he wanted to make sure that he can’t be shut up. By being sent to prison, he would know he is going against the oppressive law and to raise awareness for the cause. Therefore, he is saying that he would know that he is doing the right thing.

Gandhi’s protection was nonviolent and he was persistent in that manner – he was certain he will not hurt anyone in his fight. By being shut away, government proves that they are restrictive and hurtful towards people, that they are reacting violently to peaceful protests.

He wrote that he will live with any punishment and continue abolishing any law that is decided, all while laughing. His line about living in the prison as in a paradise meant that one of his means of protest was not to give up, not to allow the oppressors to scare him. Gandhi wanted to fight proudly and with energy, never to give his opponents the satisfaction to break him.
