Gandhiji's Methods and Directions :
The methods used by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle were the following :
Satyagraha :
To Gandhiji, satyagraha was a moral force both of truth and non-violence. It meant to be fearless, truthful as well as peaceful, suffering willingly while refusing to submit to what is wrong. But even while resisting evil, it would not involve hatred towards the evil-doer. Gandhiji's Satyagraha movement was directed against the British system of exploitation and not the British people individually or collectively. Gandhiji made a distinction between Satyagraha and passive resistance. Passive resistance does not exclude the use of physical force for the purpose of gaining one's end, whereas Satyagraha excludes the use of violence.
Doctrine of Non-violence :
Non-violence or Ahimsa means not killing or avoiding injury, but for Handling, it meant avoiding injury to anything by thought, word or deed. According to Gandhiji, non-violence is not a negative but a positive and active force. It is is the virtue of the strong which requires benevolence and sympathy.
Swadeshi :
Swadeshi means producing necessary items in one's own country and using them for one's use without dependent on imported goods. Gandhiji believed that the use of Swadeshi goods would make us self-sufficient and eliminate our dependence on imported goods. Gandhiji emphasised manual labour and the use of the Charkha and Khadi.
Mass Movement :
The South African experiment gave Gandhiji the experience of leading Indians belonging to different religions,regions and social classes. South Africa built his faith in the ability of the Indian masses to participate in the freedom movement.
