Abstract: Gandhian philosophy of non-violence, goodwill, and mutual accommodation, as opposed to bluster, confrontation and violence, is of great relevance in solving problems of not only past but also of the very present era of technological and globalised world. The USA and its supporters have an opportunity to defuse the North Korean crisis and lay the foundations for an enduring Northeast Asian and global peace by establishing an international diplomacy of Gandhi. Gandhian concepts are able to teach us the ethical value, need and justification for a reorientation of our being, i.e., moral being and transformation of our societal aspects of existence. This paper seeks to understand the Gandhian way that suggests a holistic insight into it for humanism and the role of moral practice of ahimsa mentioned by Gandhi in an integrated sense that bridges the gulf between individual and collective lives in present era especially in the case of the USA-Korea conflicts.

Keywords: non-violence; North Korean crisis; humanism; egotism; Gandhian philosophy.
