What are the best blogs on nonviolence, particularly writing grounded in satyagraha, Gandhi's philosophy and practice, or Jim Corbett's civil initiative?

Best answer: Not sure if you are looking for philosophical writings or for applied practice.

The DailyGood though not devoted exclusively to non-violence or peace, carries posts on these themes very frequently. It also has a pretty big archive on these themes, specifically Gandhian philosophy applied in practice. mkgandhi.org is a good place to go for historical information. hope this helps.

Best answer: I bet you'd find Lage Raho Munna Bhai very interesting. It is a commercial Bollywood comedy with no pretensions to high art, and the whole plot turns on a small-time gangster type transformed by "Gandhigiri" -- Gandhian principles. The movie was a huge hit, and has been credited with inspiring a renewed interest in Gandhi's principles in India. Searching on Gandhigiri brings up some blogs which might be just what you want.
