Abstract

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, an apostle of peace, a preacher of non-violence and truth brought out tremendous changes in the history of India. Those changes not only put India on a road to the Independence but also presented several unprecedented changes which allowed Indians to explore their freedom in an appropriate measurement. Not only women like Kanaklata Barua and Aruna Asaf Ali received a great opportunity to understand their role in the country but also presented altogether a different dimension in the political field. Even men like freedom fighters like Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipan Chandra Pal, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Chandra Shekhar Azad and many more completely transformed the idea of diversified India. Many significant movements like non-cooperation movement, Swadeshi movement allowed the leaders of India to give the forthcoming generation a completely different picture. This paper will analyse significance of an idea of boycott’s relevance in the 21st century.
