At the dawn of 21st century, the modern globalized world is full of multidimensional and multidisciplinary conflicts ranging from inter-personal to inter-national conflicts (Mishra, 2019; Kumar 2017). The quest for peace is an eternal pursuit for human existence and fulfilment. Gandhi expounded the philosophy of Satyagraha hundred years back which is based upon non-violent technique of conflict resolution (Devi, 2012). Gandhi firmly believed that peace in the world was possible only through non-violence. Gandhi advocated Satyagraha not as a new religion but as a superior means for attaining social harmony and human advancement for peace (Saroha, 2015). The need of the hour is to understand his philosophy of Satyagraha so that we can resolve conflict and manage our life in a peaceful and effective way. This article is intended to explore Gandhi's concept Satyagraha as the most effective method of conflict resolution. Attempt has also been made in the study to understand Gandhian concept of violence, concept of conflict, its various forms, their causes and Satyagraha as a means to resolve this conflict.
