Influence change through civil disobedience from "summary" of Mahatma Gandhi : His Own Story by C. F Andrews
Gandhi firmly believed in the power of civil disobedience as a means to bring about change. He saw it as a way to peacefully resist unjust laws and oppressive systems. Civil disobedience, in Gandhi's view, was not about causing chaos or violence, but rather about standing up for what is right in a nonviolent and respectful manner. Through civil disobedience, Gandhi sought to challenge the status quo and create a more just and equitable society. He encouraged people to peacefully protest and refuse to comply with unjust laws, even if it meant facing consequences. Gandhi himself was willing to go to jail for his beliefs, showing his commitment to the cause. Gandhi believed that civil disobedience could be a powerful tool to influence change because it forced those in power to confront the injustices of their actions. By peacefully resisting and refusing to cooperate with unjust laws, people could bring attention to the issues at hand and pressure those in power to make necessary changes. Gandhi's own experiences with civil disobedience, such as the Salt March and his campaigns for Indian independence, demonstrated the effectiveness of this strategy. By mobilizing people to peacefully resist British rule and unjust laws, Gandhi was able to bring about significant change and ultimately help India gain independence.- Gandhi saw civil disobedience as a way for ordinary people to stand up against injustice and oppression. It was a way to peacefully resist and challenge unjust systems, and ultimately bring about positive change in society. Gandhi's own story is a testament to the power of civil disobedience and its ability to influence change in a nonviolent and respectful manner.
