Gandhi: the step to Direct Action Pragmatic-principled dimension Reformist-revolutionary dimension Outline of Gandhi’s theory: Personal non-violence as a way of life Create a new society Nonviolent resistance to direct and structural violence Conception of society: negation of both capitalism and marxism: decentralized network of self-reliant and self-governing communities Liberation and restructure of Indian life
