Warriors of Non-Violence narrates nine realistic stories of ordinary people who dedicated themselves to the non-violent struggle for India's independence, highlighting the moral power Satyagraha and non-violence in Gandhi's campaign. Recollected by the author's mother, these tales are of people who stood up for their principles and inspired those around them with their commitment to justice and peace. Woven into the exploits of the characters is their transformation as individuals, as they emerged from their intra-conflicts, inner hesitation, and societal constraints, and rid themselves of the fear of British oppression and death, which was imperative for the iron resolve to gain freedom.
