To what extent is the Gandhian Satyagraha (non-violence) mode of protest relevant in today's context? the paradoxical ahimsa (non-violence) and the instrument of Satyagraha. The simple act of collecting salt transformed into one of the most nationalistic movements the world has ever witnessed. But is the concept of Satyagraha still relevant today? This investigation assesses the extent to which the Gandhian mode of protest is still relevant in India. Are Gandhi's ideologies still applicable with the advent of modernization? Through this investigation we will be able to answer a question regarding the applicability of the concept of Satyagraha in our present century. While Western Europe had echoed the invectives of dictators, Gandhi had stirred the crowded multitudes of India, the most populous area in the world, without raising his voice. It was not by the enticement of the power of fortune that he had called his followers to his cause but by warning them that they faced the most difficult adversities of their lives, yet the people followed him with the utmost reverence. In this investigation we will try to find out what were the reasons why s...... middle of paper ......ce means non-reaction to injustice. But this is not true. Justice is an aspect of truth or Satya and it is right to do everything imaginable within one's control to uphold and preserve justice - this is the legitimate duty of a Satyagrahi. Whenever we see violence or injustice, we must resist with sympathy. and affectionately. Without showing any sign of revenge or hatred we must resist. All threats and dangers must be faced. And rise victoriously from them, with the principles of Satyagraha.
