Mohandas Gandhi organized nonviolent protests in South Asia as a means of challenging British colonial rule and advocating for the rights and liberation of the Indian people. He believed in the power of Satyagraha, which translates to "holding onto truth" or "soul force," as a method of resistance against injustice. Gandhi believed that nonviolent protests were morally and spiritually superior to violent means and could achieve political and social change while maintaining the dignity of the protesters. Nonviolent protests allowed Indians to resist British rule and assert their rights peacefully, despite facing violence and oppression from the colonial authorities. Gandhi's nonviolent resistance approach became a powerful tool in mobilizing the Indian masses and played a significant role in South Asia's struggle for independence.
