Social change remains as necessary as ever in the present world. Humanity stands at cross-road today. Many are worried about the catastrophe that humanity faces if we do not act with restraint and reason. The problems like mass poverty and unemployment, the demoralisation that poverty leads to and the inadequacy of the accepted techniques of growth and development to solve these problems have compelled people to think in terms of a new approach to these problems. Mahatma Gandhi has always advocated a non-violent social change based on collective non-violent energies of ordinary men and women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significance of\ncollective non violent action in instilling a social change:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Gandhian approach to resolve differences through\nnon violent means remains relevant in light of conflict with in India as well\nas global level. An institutional approach to Gandhian method to ensure state\nbacks the community and groups which want to resolve differences through\nGandhian Methods like establishing committees of eminent citizens etc.<\/li>
  2. India has seen several social protests since\nindependence by various groups. There is demand for separate states e.g. for\nGorkhaland demand, insurgency, left wing extremism etc. The protests sometime\nare violent and lead to loss of life and property. In such context Gandhi\u2019s\napproach to bring social change in gentle way is still relevant. If protests\nand Social movement can be achieved through his methods of Non-violence it will\nensure the conflicts are not further escalated.<\/li>
  3. In global era new conflicts are emerging e.g.\nglobal terrorism, conflict due to illegal migration e.g. in USA is conceiving\nbuilding a wall on USA- Mexico border, ethnic conflicts like Rohingya refugee\ncrisis etc. These conflicts can be resolved through Gandhian approach of\nNon-violence and Satyagraha.<\/li>
  4. India is a diverse country with divisions along\ncaste, culture and ethnicities. The diversity presents challenges due to\ncompetition for resources and need for protection of group identities e.g.\nlanguage, cultures etc. Such conflicts can be resolved through peaceful gentle\nGandhian approach.<\/li>
  5. An important feature of social change is the\nsense of belonging and group consciousness. Such consciousness can be brought\nabout through active participation of the ordinary men and women.<\/li>
  6. Social change lead to the formation of an\nentirely new social, economic, and political order and thus must be based on\ncollective change.<\/li>
  7. It is understandable that the social movements\ninvolve collective action instead of individual action. The objective of a\nsocial movement is to bring about or resist social change in the society.<\/li>
  8. Social movements often arise with the aim of\nbringing about changes on a public issue, such as ensuring the right of the\ntribal population to use the forests or the right of displaced people to\nsettlement and compensation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Gandhiji had visualised these problems and emphasised non-violent collective action of ordinary people to solve it. He adopted novel ways such as ahimsa, satyagraha and his use of the charkha in the freedom movement. He suggested solutions of the problem that this country is facing should be resolved by involving masses so that the process of growth and development enables even the lowliest to get deeply involved in the process of growth and development and prevent misuse of the process of growth for sectional and group interests. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
