Distinctive school of thoughts have had developed on Anarchism. While the extreme form of individualism flourished by Max Stirner in Germany and carried by Josiah Warren and Bejamin Tucker in America, yet in contrast, Michael Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin and Proudhonian principles of mutual aid for collective or group anarchism is observed in Russia and was carried in France by Elisee, Reclus and Jean Grave. Yet another departure was with count Leo Tolstoy with his ideal of informal co-operation. In opposition to Bakunin who considered direct violent action necessary to abolish state. Gandhi asserted 'a society based on complete non-violence will be the purest anarchy'. Advocating individual freedom as opposed é ï absolute sovereignty to state, his compromise to state machinery was to the extent it advanced welfare to people. This formed the basis of Gandhi's 'Sarvodaya' and 'Swaraj'. Ultimately thus on political sovereignty, Gandhi laid emphasis on 'Loka-sakti' and not on 'Raja-sakti'. While the former is the non-violent selfreliant civil power, the latter is negation of it. Unfortunately, the problem of present day society is that instead of 'Loka-niti, the State is based on 'Raja-niti'.
