K.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Non-Violent Resistance (Satyagraha) Review: Its Gandhi - of course its 5 stars! - Gandhi didn't "write" a book by this title such. It is a compilation of his writings (done by Bharatan Kumarappa) that were largely taken from his journals, for example "Young India" and "Hajijan." (in other words, it is a sampling of the Collected Works volumes) Of course, it is Gandhi's writing, so it is very authentic, original, and interesting, and focuses on Gandhi's understanding, justification, and use of non-violence. Gandhi thought "truth-force", the pursuit of "satyagraha", as he called it, could only result in "ahimsa" or non-violence. To that end he dedicated his whole life, and he readily admitted not every time and place was ripe for non-violent resistance. That required training, and training required dedication, a belief in God, and a submission to the truth. Gandhi sought to convert his opponent, never to conquer. If you're looking for the basic writings and a wide sample of Gandhi's ideas, Louis Fischer's "Essential Gandhi" may be of more interest to you, but if you are specifically interest in Gandhi's thoughts on non-violence in India then this is certainly a fine selection of Gandhi's own thoughts, speeches and writings. Review: I keep on buying copies of this book and giving ... - I keep on buying copies of this book and giving them away. This is undoubtedly the most important work I've ever read about creating social change. It is not a biography of Gandhi but rather, a biography of his philosophy. Gandhi lead India to independence from the British Empire. That triumph of political will has never been equalled even in myth and legend. This book reveals in a simple way that a sense of injustice, signs, and riots in the streets are not going to accomplish anything. The answer lies in spiritual commitment and discipline. Without those two elements Gandhi would be a minor footnote in history and India would be a very different place. I believe that the path outlined in this book is the only way o bring about social change on the scale demanded by the future we all face. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #125,784 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #610 in Political Leader Biographies #655 in Eastern Philosophy (Books) #1,520 in Specific Topics in Politics & Government | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | ## Images ![Non-Violent Resistance (Satyagraha) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Hl1-791GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its Gandhi - of course its 5 stars! *by W***M on March 20, 2013* Gandhi didn't "write" a book by this title such.

A daily challenge for each and every one of us. *by F***R on November 10, 2014* His is one of the most recognizable faces and inspiring lives of all time, but do you really know this man and what he so passionately stood for? Read Satyagraha only if you dare to go beyond the “easy” Gandhi — the popular hero to admire from a safe distance… and are ready to be challenged by the “hard” Gandhi — the wise and courageous teacher to emulate in our daily lives. Even if you consider the Mahatma’s dream and methods to be naïve and foolhardy, prepare yourself. One cannot read the words of this man… who was willing to, and indeed did, die for a cause greater than himself… without being moved to reflect deeply on one’s own conduct and allegiances… and upon the many ways that we routinely contribute to, or at least mutely accept, injustice. And as I read Gandhi’s closing words, I was struck by a most challenging thought that pierced right through the routine of my otherwise ordinary day: Perhaps true Satyagraha, like true Christianity and other radical forms of love, has never really been tried. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/38040327-non-violent-resistance-satyagraha](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/38040327-non-violent-resistance-satyagraha) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
