Civil disobedience is a major mode of struggle:

(ii)A prominent instance being Gandhi’s deployment of satyagraha during the Indian Freedom Movement. Gandhi took his stand on justice and appealed to the conscience of the British rulers.
(iii)If that did not work, he put moral and political pressure on them by launching a mass movement involving open but non-violent breaking of the unjust laws.
(iv)Drawing inspiration from him, Martin Luther King waged a similar battle in the 1960s against anti-Black racial discrimination in the USA.
