Abstract

The concept of satyagraha, in spite of its immense potential for the resolution of conflicts, has not been completely explored. Its nonviolent beliefs and values have not been thrashed out in totality. It still remains primarily a matter of Indian experience. This article provides insights on satyagraha's ability to resolve peacefully potentially violent conflicts in the area of industrial relations. The article meets the need to explicitly clarify the way in which satyagraha, as a technique of conflict management, can be used in practice outside the Indian arena.
