The Indian freedom struggle is widely discussed and is an area of open interpretations based on new research and new schools of thoughts. The political history of the freedom struggle of India very prominently reflects on the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi and his novel experiments of mobilizing the masses towards the liberation of the country made the entire movement an unconventional in its approach. The following paper looks at the experiment of Gandhiji of Satyagraha and its genesis. The role of Satyagraha in the collective and individual capacity varied and rather the accountability quotient was always higher in the movement. The Gandhian principle of Satyagraha molded the generations of Indians together not only during the pre-independent era, but also post-independence.
