Abstract: This research article explores the profound influence of Satyagraha, a philosophy and practice of nonviolent resistance initiated by Mahatma Gandhi, on contemporary global peace-making efforts. The study begins by tracing the historical origins of Satyagraha during the early 20th century in South Africa and India, where Gandhi developed and applied his revolutionary techniques to combat colonial oppression. The core principles of Satyagraha, including truth, nonviolence, and civil disobedience, are examined in detail to understand their philosophical underpinnings and practical implementation in conflicts. The article then analyses how these principles have been adapted and applied in various international contexts, highlighting case studies such as the American Civil Rights Movement, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, and recent peace movements worldwide. Through qualitative analysis of historical documents, interviews with peace activists, and case study methodology, the paper assesses the efficacy of Satyagraha-inspired strategies in achieving lasting peace and reconciliation in diverse sociopolitical settings.
