1917, Champaran, Bihar. Satyagraha, a mass protest movement, experimented by Mahatma Gandhi earlier in South Africa, was launched to oppose the British colonial regime’s insistence that farmers grow indigo to serve British interests. Over a hundred years later, as these rich essyas by some leading scholars and activists of contemporary times such as Mark Jurgensmeyer, Beatriz Bissio, Ramin Jahanbegloo, Vinay Lal, Medha Patkar and Vandana Shiva show, Gandhi’s legacy of satyagraha remains a relevant moral-political force for struggling for justice, continuously evolving as a universal mode of social action.
