The battle keeps on being an effective and strong source of inspiration for countries that reject to accept foreign dominance and exploitation; for countries that estimate liberty, equality, freedom, dignity and democracy. The Indian freedom struggle provides novel and ideal models of patriotism and nationalism which may be adopted and pursued in order to eradicate and devastate the undemocratic foundations of colonialism, neo- colonialism, feudalism, radicalism and different forms of hidden oppression and abuse. It is broadly accepted that Gandhi played a major, vital and crucial role in keeping the Indian national movement first and foremost non-violent. He passionately and enthusiastically adopted and applied his theory and strategy of non-violence to make India independent from the British servitude.enGandhi’s -Nationalist Movement -1920-1947-Violent Path towards IndependenceGandhi’s Nationalist Movement (1920-1947): A Non-Violent Path towards IndependenceThesis
