The Indian freedom movement was the perhaps the most struggled movement at mass level which a modern society has ever seen, with the lots of people of almost all classes and ideologies into political action and delivered to its knees a mighty colonial empire. Consequently, together with Britsh, French, Russian, Chine, Cuban and Vietnam revolutions, it's of great relevance to those wishing to change the present political and social organisation. Various aspects of the Indian national movement, especially Gandhian political strategy, are particularly relevant to those movements in societies that broadly function within the confines of the rule of law, and are characterized by a democratic and basically civil libertarian polity. But it's also relevant to other societies. We all know for a proven fact that even solon consciously tried to include elements of Gandhian strategy within the Solidarity Movement in Poland. The Indian national movement, in fact, provides the sole actual historical example of a semi-democratic or democratic form of political structure being successfully replaced or transformed. It's the sole movement where the broadly Gramscian theoretical perspective of position was successfully practiced a war during a single historical moment of revolution, but through prolonged popular struggle on an ethical, political and ideological level; where reserves of counter hegemony were built up over the years through progressive stages; where the phases of struggle alternated with ‘passive’ phases. The national movement was, from its period of time, fully committed to secularism. And, despite the partition of India and therefore the accompanying communal holocaust, it did achieve enshrining secularism in the Constitution of free India.
