Explanation

The correct answer is Web Miller (Webb Miller). He was an American journalist representing the United Press who witnessed and reported on the Dharasana Satyagraha in May 1930. Following Mahatma Gandhi's arrest during the Salt Satyagraha, Sarojini Naidu, Imam Saheb, and Manilal Gandhi led a non-violent march to the Dharasana Salt Works in Gujarat. Miller's vivid and harrowing account of the brutal lathi charge by the British police on unarmed, non-resisting protesters was published in over 1,000 newspapers worldwide. His reporting played a crucial role in shifting international public opinion in favor of the Indian independence movement and exposed the moral contradictions of British colonial rule. Other options like Mark Tully (BBC journalist) and Philip Spratt (Communist activist) were not associated with this specific event.
