THEME OF THE SEMINAR
Gandhi was a life long practioner of conducting major public conflicts and a profound conflict theorist. His method of conflict resolution set the tone for the phenomenal growth of conflict resolution literature. For Gandhi, it was not only a method of conducting conflict but it was also a way of life, of living in Truth. Gandhian view of conflict suggests that conflicts need not be seen as problems instead it suggests that they should be seen as opportunities for moral growth and transformation. The essence of his method of conflict resolution is to liquidate antagonisms but not antagonists themselves and there is no rancour left behind, and in the end the enemies are converted into friends.
