I am known for leading India to independence through nonviolent resistance. My approach, Satyagraha, which I developed in South Africa, emphasized truth force and soul force as the means to overcome injustice. It was not merely a political tactic, but a way of life, demanding self-discipline, courage, and an unwavering commitment to truth and non-violence in the face of oppression. This philosophy aimed to transform both the oppressor and the oppressed.
