THE PATH OF SATYAGRAHA AND NONVIOLENCE
Mahatma Gandhi has a big role to play in freedom struggle through his unique methods of satyagraha , non violence and passive resistance. Before the advent of Gandhi to national movement was restricted to few English educated middle class who hardly represented the society. The women, labourers, peasants, tribals and students were largely out of the freedom struggle.
Entry of Gandhi empowered all sections to participate and turned in into a mass movement.
The Hindu Muslim unity pushed by Gandhi United the whole India for a single cause.
Gandhi pushed the idea of grass root democracy, higher women representation, living in harmony with nature.
He promoted idea of truth and morality, that reformed indian society of its ills and evils.
Because of his method of non violence, extremists and revolutionary support remained limited and prevented subsequent bloodshed.
He was a unifying force cutting across religion and regional identities otherwise India would have been fragmented into pieces post independence. His lasting ideals and values enriched the ideological churning of the time.
Therefore his contribution was invaluable and its difficult to imagine a free india without the ideals of Gandhi.
Gandhi was the pioneer of swadeshi movement and a Satyagrahi who bilieves the notion of equality,nonviolence.
