Gandhism

Gandhism refers to the ideas and principles of Mahatma Gandhi, who advocated for nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as means to achieve social and political change. Central to Gandhism are the concepts of truth (Satya), nonviolence (Ahimsa), and self-discipline. Gandhi emphasized the importance of living simply, respecting all life, and fostering social equality. He believed in empowering individuals and communities through nonviolent action to challenge injustice and oppression. His philosophy deeply influenced movements for civil rights and freedom worldwide, promoting justice through peaceful means rather than violence.
