The British monarchs were such tyrants that they placed many restrictions over Indians and destroyed the country of India. However, Gandhiji, who was a follower of honesty and non-violence, decided to stand against the unfair behaviour of British regime. The current paper is centered on the fight for democracy from the phenomenal British principle and the methods used by Gandhiji in the form of honesty and non-violence.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>indian</kwd><kwd> nationalists</kwd><kwd> democracy</kwd><kwd> subcontinent</kwd><kwd> nonviolent</kwd><kwd> colonial</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>&nbsp;Not applicable</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>All authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author confirms sole responsibility for the following: study conception and design, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results, and manuscript preparation.</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>Not applicable</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>I thank the following individuals for their expertise and assistance in all aspects of our study and for their help in writing the manuscript.
