Question

Gandhi helped bring about Indian independence from British rule. Why do you think his approach was effective in enacting social and political change?

Answer 1

Answer:

In part because of his education background, in part because of political pragmatism, Mahatma Ghandi opted for non-violence as his preferred method of protest against the British colonial rule in India.  Armed rebellion or a long guerrilla war was not a viable alternative in the post-WWI India. Pacific protest was more effective: it was legitimate, it was moral for an oppressed people to rebel and it stirred worldwide sympathy and solidarity. In the long run, it proved to brong better results that an uprising.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi brought Independence to India through introduction of two important elements: Truth and Non-Violence.

His approach of Truth and Non-violence was effective in enacting Social and Political Changes because of these reasons:

1. Before Gandhi the method of Independence Movement was about appeasement and revolt. Both of which failed to attract masses into the national independence movement.
2. The method of Non-violence stopped the British Military and Police to attack innocents in the name of Law and Order.
3. The Approach of Non-violence was unique for Colonizers because of the participation of women, and children, which Gandhi said are equal to men in the Freedom movement.

Therefore, the approach of Gandhi gave the idea that movement can be non-violent and can give equal opportunity to Men and Women to fight for the Nation.
