Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi was a master strategist and tactician of India’s Freedom Struggle. Gandhi had tremendous faith in the potential of common people of India.His objective was to make Indian National Movement a mass movement, for he knew from the the beginning that a mass movement could move the mighty British empire. He was also aware of the power structure of the colonizers. Violence could be crushed by greater violence of the powerful colonial state. Hence, Gandhi aimed at building a nonviolent mass movement in India . For this , his Satyagraha was apt with its core being non violence, which Gandhi conceptualized as a dynamic concept.Additionally, he devised his detailed plan in each of the three major Satyagraha movements that he had led towards India’s freedom . Indian National Movement was transformed into a mass movement through the phases of Non Cooperation Movement (1920-22), Civil Disobedience Movement(1930-34) and Quit India Movement (1942) under the leadership of Gandhi. These three Gandhian movements consecutively eroded the British hegemony in India leading to her freedom in 1947. The paper mainly explores the various dimensions of the strategy which Gandhi planned out in details during these three movements .
