Gandhi: The Force of Satyagraha
Gandhi’s satyagraha joined nonviolence to truth, discipline, and civil disobedience: injustice was to be resisted without treating an opponent as an enemy to destroy. The 1930 Salt March made that philosophy concrete, openly defying Britain’s salt monopoly and helping turn anticolonial resistance into a mass movement. Gandhi’s methods later shaped Martin Luther King Jr.‘s nonviolent activism and influenced Nelson Mandela’s thinking. #satyagraha
