Resist 1/7:: Gandhi: Non-Violent Resistance, Truth and The Soul


Listen Later

In this series, we speak with those who resisted—and those the world tried to silence.
Saints and revolutionaries, mystics and militants.
 Their words are sharp. Their choices, costly.

You may not agree with them.
 But if you’ve ever clenched your fists in the face of injustice—
then this is your conversation, too.

This is “Resist”.


For our first guest in this arc, we talk to Mahatma Gandhi, whose resistance changed an empire—not by the sword, but by the soul.

He is often remembered as a saint. But he was also a strategist, a provocateur, a tireless resister.
