Colonial rule sparks violence as it instills feelings of inferiority among the colonized. Gandhi's nonviolent approach contrasts with Fanon's views, where violence is seen as a means of overcoming despair and reclaiming self-respect. The Swadeshi movement, initiated by figures like Rammohan Roy and Vivekananda, sought to integrate Hinduism within a modern religious framework. This movement evolved into radical nationalism, influencing Gandhi's critique. Understanding Gandhi's anticolonialism requires a nuanced approach that considers his critiques of the Swadeshi movement and its implications for communal violence.
Gandhi's perspective on violence in the anticolonial struggle requires understanding his ties to the Swadeshi movement, which transformed through significant cultural figures seeking national identity.
Fanon's insights reveal that colonial domination leads to violence being redirected inward, causing colonized societies to turn against themselves rather than resisting colonization collectively.
