ABSTRACT
The struggle India fought under the leadership of Gandhi was not only a political struggle for transfer of power. It was for the members of Constituent Assembly to ponder if and how his leadership and his guidance can be useful in making of the constitution. In initial three or four years of his stay in India, Gandhi did attempt to mitigate many cases of injustice by trying to talk directly with opponents to present people's viewpoint, but he used to indicate his inclination to offer satyagraha too. People and even the rulers were not fully aware of the new weapons like non-cooperation with the government, unarmed resistance to unfair act of the government and civil disobedience or the satyagraha. By this time, Mahatma Gandhi had become supreme leader of the Indian National Congress, and the moderate leadership, hitherto supported by majority, was on decline now. The Congress had accepted Gandhiji's leadership since the Special Session of 1920 at Calcutta.
