PACS 164A Lecture 9: Gandhi’s Success in South Africa - Return to India and the Year of Silence

In this lecture, Professor Michael Nagler continues to lay out the events which characterized Gandhi’s life in the early 20th-century. Professor Nagler introduces the practices of civil disobedience as practiced by Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights Movement as well as other relevant historical events in the history of the practice of nonviolence such as the Freedom Struggle, Gandhi’s Salt March, the Newcastle March or “Great March,“ the political struggle of the “Satyagrahis,“ as well as the political organization and history of India. Professor Nagler also intermittently discusses concepts such as “the paradox of oppression,“ “Person Power,“ svadeśi, and preliminarily introduces the themes present in “Hind Swaraj.“ Lecture Transcript: 0:00:05 Peace Boat 0:01:18 Encounter Point 0:02:29 Martyrdom and Nonviolence 0:06:16 Str
