| Abstract | Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of Satyagraha and civil disobedience has profoundly influenced resistance movements not only in India but globally. This paper explores Gandhi's principles, tracing their roots and examining their application during the Indian independence struggle. By analyzing key events, such as the Salt March and Quit India Movement, this paper underscores the effectiveness of non-violent resistance. Furthermore, it investigates the legacy of Gandhi's methods in contemporary movements, such as the anti-corruption campaigns and environmental activism in India. The paper employs a qualitative methodology, analyzing historical texts, speeches, and various contemporary case studies to illustrate the ongoing relevance of Gandhi's teachings. Data tables will be used to present information on various movements influenced by Gandhi, highlighting the methods employed, their leadership, and outcomes. This research emphasizes that Gandhi's vision of resistance continues to inspire movements worldwide, advocating for justice and equality through non-violent means. Thus, his influence remains a critical component of the global discourse on civil rights and social justice.
