Somethings you need to know about Passive Resistance by Gandhi
Gandhi views human history as a battle between two forces: the truth-, love-, or soul-force that brings people together to live in harmony, on the one hand, and the brute force of self-interest and violence, on the other. He sees these forces of good and evil, or peace and war, as inherent parts of human nature. But he is remarkably optimistic about the power of unity, forgiveness, and reconciliation, which he thinks must be the driving force behind the independence movement. If English colonialism made history by rupturing India’s harmonious way of life, then the struggle for an independent India must strive to heal this rupture and be fundamentally driven by soul-force.
