In India during the British colonial tactic of non-violent struggle for independence in two forms: of non and civil disobedience. A Mahatma Gandhi in the early XX century. The basic idea – in an effort to influence the reason and conscience of the opponent through: the renunciation of violence willingness to carry the pain and suffering satyagrahi The goal is to transform an opponent into an ally and friend – it is considered that an appeal to conscience better than threats and violence. In accordance with the theory of Gandhi, violence, sooner or later leads to an increase in violence, non-violence is to interrupt the spiral of evil and makes it possible to transform an enemy into supporters. Gandhi sees satyagrahu not as weapons of the weak, but rather as a weapon of the strongest spirit. … Now in India no one is buying British goods, the Indians leave the British companies and refuse to cooperate with the authorities. Sam Gandhi returns authorities coin, which was in the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa and which is valued (in 1899 Gandhi had participated in the war on the British side, providing medical assistance to wounded soldiers and officers, vytaskivaya them out of bullets on their shoulders). The symbol of the new satyagrahi becoming charkha, a traditional Indian distaff. On the call of Mahatma whole country is moving towards self-sufficiency, refusing to buy British goods, including expensive fabrics. Mahatma himself sits down for a spinning wheel and make your clothes and shoes. The Indians do not violate laws, they simply do not cooperate with authorities. They buy only Indian goods (even if those good in quality!), Burning British cloth that once purchased. For a nation that has become a spiritual breakthrough, the internal opening. It turns out that their political and economic dependence on England – the result of their collaboration with the colonialists! But the same can not cooperate, it is possible to live their lives and did not notice the enemies! First British Gandhi showered with derision, but soon begin to feel the shock – they do not notice, they do not worship traditions, their trading companies have a tremendous loss. Comes to the fact that Indians do not notice the Crown Prince of Wales, who arrives in India. Streets of cities extinct when there is shown a high visitor, the embodiment of the sacred royal power. Satyagraha – this is a long way, and not Gandhi pursues the results. The latest satyagrahu, which was marked by «salt campaign», Gandhi conducted in 1930.
