甘地的非暴力抵抗运动在印度现代民族解放运动史上有重要地位,在世界现代民族解放运动史上也颇具特色和有较大影响。正如他的非暴力学说的独特性一样,作为这个学说的实践,也同样具有独特性。在甘地的政治生涯中,理论和实践虽不免有矛盾之处,但这二者的结合和连贯性却是十分明显的。甘地把自己的理论和实践概括为“坚持真理”。他把自己的《自传》称 The non-violent resistance in Gandhi played an important role in the history of the modern national liberation movement in India and also had a distinctive and significant influence in the history of world modern national liberation. Just as the uniqueness of his non-violent doctrine, the practice of this doctrine is equally unique. Although there are contradictions between theory and practice in Gandhi’s political career, the combination and coherence of the two are quite obvious. Gandhi summarized his theory and practice as “upholding the truth.” He called his own “autobiography.”
