 Summary of this article
- Gandhi empowered women as central actors in the freedom struggle, framing their entry into politics as a moral and humane corrective to violent, power-driven leadership, and advocating for education, equality, and social reform.
- By linking women’s participation to service, sacrifice, and truth-seeking, Gandhi broadened the scope of nationalism, making the struggle inclusive, ethical, and transformative at both social and political levels.
The contemporary world is canvassed with examples suggesting the failure of the modern liberal order in managing socio-political conflicts across the globe. The dominant paradigm of political realism, with its underlying assumptions of a perpetual state of anarchy and threat perception, treats conflicts as inevitable, thereby prescribing a masculine, militarized manual for redressal without fully diagnosing the malady. A security discourse woven around masculinist stereotypes furthers the same insecurity that it seeks to dismantle, bringing to life a festering security paradox. In these turbulent times, there is a need to remember the alternative idea and praxis of one of the most prominent figures of nonviolent conflict resolution-Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi.
His legacy transcends mere rhetoric and ideology as one of the most popular mass-leaders of India whose innovative yet sustainable ideas were tailored specifically to suit India’s socio-economic, political and cultural realities. Many models of conflict resolution that we have today are inspired heavily by Gandhi’s ideas and praxis of Satyagraha which once dealt with the twin conflicts of British colonialism and hierarchical practices and prejudices of Indian traditions.
In resisting racial discrimination in Africa, colonial supremacy in India and caste-based discrimination, he adopted non-violence as a means for lasting peace and not simply the end. More than relying on institutional and structural frameworks, his conflict resolution mechanism focused on the self-limiting character of individuals. His criticism of the liberal democratic order was based on his commitment to creating a non-hierarchical society.
