Conflct Resolution
 Using Gandhi's Satyagraha Technique

Gandhi said that the root of every Violence or Conflict is Untruth and that the only permanent solution of Conflict is Truth. Consequently, to resolve conflicts, he conceived of a novel technique which he called Satyagraha. Literally it means Satya (Truth) with Agraha (Firmness) or, Unwavering search for the Truth. And since the only way of getting to Truth is by Non-violence (or Love), it follows that Satyagraha implies an Unwavering search for the Truth using Non-violence. And therefore Gandhi emphasized that Satyagraha is the most potent method of ensuring an endurable Peace. In this context Gandhi further said that.
Truth is God;
Non-violence is Love in Action; and
Peace, the result of enduring conflict resolution, is the Fruit of Satyagraha.

Gandhi started his career as an Attorney in South Africa and he practiced Law for 20 years. During that period he dealt with hundreds of cases related to conflicts of all kinds– Interpersonal conflicts, Labor conflicts, Social conflicts, Religious conflicts, State conflicts and National conflicts – and used every possible technique for resolving them – through the legal channel, by mediation, by education, by arbitration and so on.

<Mahatma Gandhi the Satyagrahi "I became disgusted with the profession. As lawyers the counsels on both sides were bound to rake up points of law in support of their clients; the winning party never recovered all the costs; I felt it was my duty to befriend both parties and bring them together. I realized that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder".

– Mahatma Gandhi

More on Conflict Resolution: the Gandhi Way Slowly Gandhi evolved an entirely novel technique which he called 'Satyagraha'. Literally it means remaining firm on the Truth and resisting the Untruth actively but using only Non-violent means. Gandhi devoted all his life to perfecting the Satyagraha technique, teaching it to his followers and applying it in every kind of conflict that he encountered. With his phenomenal success he proved that Satyagraha is the most pragmatic and potent technique of conflict resolution, and it is also the morally correct way of life.

Shall Sinha as Mahatma Gandhi A presentation by Shall Sinha

Although Mahatma Gandhi is no longer with us, it is possible to bring his characterization back.
Shall Sinha is a leading scholar on the Life and Works of Mahatma Gandhi, and he also does an Extraordinary Impersonation of Gandhi. He appears dressed exactly like Mahatma Gandhi - with bald-head, steel-frame glasses, home-spun loin clothes, tire-sandals and a bamboo walking staff. Throughout the presentation he stays in Gandhi's character and describes events specifically relevant to the audience and the occasion.

Using his personal library that contains over 50,000 pages of collected works of Mahatma Gandhi, Shall Sinha draws all his supporting materials from Gandhi's actual life and leaves his audience inspired - feeling good about themselves and their work and also with a zest for new challenges.

Shall Sinha is the author of "Words of Wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi".
