Secondly, it shows that Gandhi's non-violent resistance movement was anchored not in western discourses of political and legislative freedom but rather in Indic traditions of renunciative freedom.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aConstitutional historyzIndia. 0aIndiaxHistoryyBritish occupation, 1765-1947.08iPrint versionz9780198062509403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198062509.001.0001  c37928d37928
