Something I realised about the current protests is they dont have a central leader, Ghandi and MLK were able to make a clear distinction between their movements and violent ones
Some have said that is by design. A leader can be held accountable for a violent or destructive act of people who are part of the movement. No leader = you can't sit down and discuss how to appease the movement with a list of demands. The movement goes on until it achieves its goals, whatever that may be. There's also no way to target it and "cut off the head of the snake" by arresting a leader.
@@duncansh81 In 1989-90 there were thirteen nations that underwent nonviolent revolutions. All of them successful except one, China. That same two years, 1.7 billion people were engaged in national nonviolent revolutions. That is a third of humanity!!! If you throw in all of the other nonviolent revolutions in all the other nations in the twentieth century, you get the astonishing figure of 3.34 billion people involved in nonviolent revolutions. That is TWO THIRDS of the human race. No one can ever again say that nonviolence doesn't work. It has been working like crazy.

Hi thanks for the video. Was very helpful. By the way what book or material you are referring to apart from the link you mentioned in the description? Also can you please cover Gandhi's concept of truth? Thanks again.
He was very imperfect in so many ways, but at least he tried. He may not have done a good job, but tried. The main question remains; are these ideas something we can try and put to work and do better than he himself did? If yes, then surely it's not the idea itself that is flawed. If no, the idea might be flawed. :)
@@halldorfannarsigurgeirsson7741 dear as a Hindu I can tell you that Sanatan Dharma teaches " Ahimsa parmo Dharma, dharme hinsa ththev ch" which means non violence is the our dharma (truth) but to save Dharma we can use defence measures ..( I have tried to explain the meaning) And according to I appreciate SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE..and people like him
@@user-pu4nw7jx5l Gandhi supported British Government in first World war because he was of view that one should always support one's nation's government in the times of crisis ,doing otherwise will be a seditious act . It may seem difficult to believe but British government was Indian government for most of the Indians. Subhash Chandra Bose called Gandhi father of nation. And Gandhi called him true patriot so they both respected each other.
@@halldorfannarsigurgeirsson7741 Don’t argue with the guy, he is one of those people who read history on social media pages influenced by politics. We have millions of such people in India. He will start abusing you If you don’t agree with him.
I'm studying for a exam and this was really helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

It is crazy how his philosophy matches with anarcho-communism.

Gandhiji non violence is truly shown when he passively support British in 1st world war..
