MAHATMA GANDHI'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: THE FORMATION AND PRACTICE OF THE THEORY OF NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE

This article analyzes Mahatma Gandhi’s political views, the core ideas formed during his political activity, and his role in the Indian independence movement. Gandhi’s principle of nonviolence (ahimsa) and the concept of satyagraha based on the power of truth are extensively discussed. Furthermore, Gandhi’s political philosophy and its influence on global political thought are examined from a scientific perspective. The findings suggest that Gandhi’s political ideas played a crucial role not only in India’s independence movement but also in civil movements across the world.
