Non-violent Nationalism is an approach to achieving national independence or political autonomy through peaceful means such as protests, strikes, boycotts, and negotiations rather than armed conflict.
Imagine Non-violent Nationalism like playing chess. The aim is to win (achieve independence) but instead of physically fighting your opponent (armed conflict), you use strategic moves (protests, strikes) within set rules to achieve victory.
