Gandhi's philosophy and Martin Luther King Jr.'s approach both emphasized nonviolent resistance and the pursuit of social justice through peaceful means. They shared a commitment to civil rights and used moral persuasion to challenge oppression. However, Gandhi's philosophy was rooted in Indian cultural and spiritual traditions, focusing on concepts like Satyagraha (truth-force), while King was influenced by Christian theology and American civil rights struggles. Additionally, Gandhi’s tactics were often more focused on mass mobilization and self-sufficiency, while King emphasized legal and institutional reforms within the American context.
