The nonviolent principles of satyagraha, including civil disobedience and peaceful resistance, helped to unite the Indian people in their fight for independence. By refusing to cooperate with unjust British laws and practices, Indians were able to disrupt colonial administration and economics, putting pressure on the British to address their demands. Additionally, the moral high ground gained through nonviolent protests garnered international sympathy and support for the Indian independence movement, adding further pressure on the British government to negotiate and eventually grant independence to India. Ultimately, satyagraha played a crucial role in India's independence struggle by demonstrating the power of nonviolent resistance in achieving political change.
