Abstract
Peace movements aim to minimize conflict through advocacy, non-violent resistance, and political lobbying. Color revolutions, characterized by nonviolent civil disobedience, are a series of post-Soviet era uprisings aimed at achieving democratic reforms and regime change. These movements, such as the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, largely relied on peaceful protests, demonstrations, and acts of civil resistance to challenge and replace pro-Moscow governments with pro-Western ones. Here, protests and regime change efforts by means of nonviolent tactics like civil disobedience and political non-cooperation were carried out. In a way, the ideology of liberalism meet with the notion of revolution against the conservative authoritarian regime by using non-violent tactics. A notion similar to the Satyagraha principle of M.K Gandhi through which he employed non-violent civil disobedience strategy against the imperial British regime notably in the 1930 Salt March, which sparked widespread resistance. So the paper tries to analyze the non-violent strategies of Color Revolutions mainly Rose, Orange and, Tulip revolutions of its co-relative approach with the Gandhian Civil Disobedience Method. The research methodology employed is descriptive and analytical in nature.
