The Doctrine of Passive Resistance was propounded by Aurobindo Ghosh in a series of articles that were published in the journal Bande Mataram in April 1907. As a political leader and writer Aurobindo made an intense and passionate appeal of passive resistance, or, as it could be more comprehensively termed, defensive resistance. He was against the Moderates’ theory of “politics of petition” and advocated the more radical policy of boycott.
