Abstract Mahandas Karamchand Gandhi is recognised as the father of Indian nation. He is known for the champion of non-violent movement across the globe. He spread the idea of Ahimsa (Non-violence) through his unique style of movements for civil and political rights. Therefore, he is often considered as the founder of the non-violent movement. Gandhi shares his experience about the application of Ahimsa in the Indian freedom struggle in his autobiography. He led a successful decade long non-violent movement against the imperial foreign rule in India. Gandhi's idea about the application of Ahimsa as a unique weapon inspired many revolutionary leaders and impressed many statesmen of the world. In the contemporary world, it has been observed that the idea of non-violence propounded by Gandhi, still found to be the legacy among social movement activists and they apply non-violent techniques to achieve the goals of their movements. In this study an attempt has been made to explore the relevance of Gandhian techniques of movement in the contemporary society. The study also tries to find out the inner outlook of Gandhian non-violence among the present-day movement activists and its validity of practical use.
