The nonviolent struggle in Burma, started with the Second World War, which marked a turning point as Burmese nationalists refused to aid British war efforts unless they received a promise of independence in return for their support. But with this many new faces emerged with regard to the families and others and one face which emerged out of them was of Aung San, the magnetic commander of the army whose family had been in opposition to British rule since annexation of the country in 1886. But with the death of Aung San the new leadership emerged in the form of Aung San Suu Kyi later on who followed the path of Gandhian Non-violence and practically showcased the true nonviolent soldier of the country. The present paper tried to look into different situations how a new Non-violent path was practically can be applied and how Gandhian philosophy is still relevant.
