Role of Mahatma Gandhi from "summary" of India's Struggle for Independence by Bipan Chandra,Mridula Mukherjee,Aditya Mukherjee,K N Panikkar,Sucheta Mahajan
Mahatma Gandhi played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence. His unique approach to nonviolent resistance, known as Satyagraha, inspired millions of Indians to join the fight against British colonial rule. Gandhi believed in the power of truth and love to overcome oppression and injustice, and he fearlessly led numerous campaigns and movements to challenge British authority. One of Gandhi's most influential campaigns was the Salt March of 1930, where he and his followers walked over 240 miles to the coastal town of Dandi to protest the British salt monopoly. This act of civil disobedience sparked a wave of protests across the country and drew international attention to the Indian independence movement. Gandhi's emphasis on self-reliance and self-discipline also had a profound impact on the Indian population. He promoted the use of Khadi, or homespun cloth, as a way to boycott British goods and promote Indian industry. Gandhi himself wore simple, hand-woven clothing to symbolize his commitment to the principles of simplicity and austerity. Throughout his life, Gandhi worked tirelessly to unite the diverse peoples of India under the banner of independence. He sought to bridge the gap between different religious and social groups, emphasizing the importance of communal harmony and unity in the face of colonial oppression. Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and his unwavering commitment to truth and righteousness continue to inspire generations of people around the world. His legacy as a champion of justice and equality remains an enduring symbol of hope and courage in the struggle against oppression and tyranny.
