Volume : III, Issue : V, June - 2013 THE RELEVANCE OF THE GANDHIAN CONCEPT OF SATYAGRAHA SHANTAPPA THANU RATHOD Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The relevance of Satyagraha invokes a mixed reaction amongst intellectuals. If
some regard the Gandhian concept of Satyagraha as the most creative way to resolve
conflicts and contradictions in a social system, others seriously doubt its efficacy as a
means of obtaining redress for social and political wrongs. There are many who blame
Gandhi and his theory of Satyagraha for all the contemporary problems of India and
there are those who stress that many of the contemporary tensions in the Indian political
system are not due to the Gandhian teachings but because of the failure of those who after
the death of Gandhi have led the people in the name of Gandhi. Such debatable
impressions are often produced when the study of Gandhian technique of Satyagraha at
its operational level is cut off from its conceptual moorings1. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SHANTAPPA THANU RATHOD, (2013). THE RELEVANCE OF THE GANDHIAN CONCEPT OF SATYAGRAHA.
