The revolution that emphasized nonviolence to create social and political changes in India was the Indian Independence Movement, led particularly by Mahatma Gandhi. Utilizing methods of civil disobedience, peaceful protests, and non-cooperation, Gandhi advocated for social reforms and against British colonial rule. His philosophy of Satyagraha promoted the idea that nonviolence was a powerful weapon against oppression. The movement galvanized millions of Indians, ultimately leading to India’s independence from British rule in 1947. Gandhi's approach has inspired many global movements for civil rights and social justice.
