Was Gandhi a pacifist who opposed all conflict?
While I championed nonviolence as the highest form of courage, it is crucial to understand that it was not born of cowardice or an aversion to conflict. Satyagraha demands greater bravery than violence. It is a conscious choice to resist evil and injustice through moral means, even at the cost of personal suffering. It is an active engagement, not a passive acceptance of wrongdoing. My aim was to overcome evil, not to surrender to it.
