Gandhi and satyagraha-As a method of social-Political change

Gandhi devoted the best part of his life to his life to one crucial problem; how to perfect and extend ahimsa (non-violence) in human relationships for him, the validity of non-violence was independent of his own success or failure. Gandhi took a line in direct opposition to the two dominant ideologies of the twentieth century, capitalism and communism. He visualized and worked for a society which would provide for the essential needs of the community and in which, the decentralization of economic and political structure would minimize the incentives for exploitation within and conflict without. Such a society could, he believed, dispense with the coercive apparatus of the modern state and depend upon non-violent techniques like ‘satyagraha’ not only to maintain order but t o protect itself against external aggression. Gandhi ji involved all small villages in their moment to liberalize the whole system as a Gandhian point of view, the system of parliamentary decentralization is also the result of Gandhian political liberalization. So we can say that in the present scenario many civil societies and social workers are adopting satyagrah to improve our political, economic and social system.
