This research paper offers a thorough analysis of significant civil resistance movements that took place in the 20th century and 21st century, with a focus on the Arab Spring, BLM, and Marriage Equality Movements in the latter and the US CRM (CRM), South African Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Indian Independence Movement in the former. This research aims to clarify the fundamental ideas, tactics, and results of these revolutionary revolutions by incorporating historical, social, and cultural viewpoints. This paper aims to contextualize each movement within its distinct socio-political milieu by utilizing a wide range of primary materials, such as archival documents, eyewitness accounts, and multimedia records, in addition to secondary literature and modern assessments. I want to identify recurring themes, flexibility in responding to various contexts, and the influence on legislative changes, policy adjustments, and public perceptions by investigating the initiators, institutional frameworks, and ideological foundations of these movements. The paper also looks at how charismatic leaders, community mobilization, non-violent resistance tactics, and coalition building shaped the direction and eventful success of these movements. Through comparative study, the emergence of civil resistance as a powerful tool for social transformation is highlighted, along with the innovations and continuities that distinguish these efforts across different historical settings. I seek to explore the legacy of the US CRM, the South African Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Indian Independence Movement, as well as their continuing impact on later struggles and contributions to the larger conversation about social justice and human rights. In parallel, analyzing the 21st century Arab Spring, BLM, offers a modern perspective for comprehending the changing dynamics of civil resistance in a world growing more linked and globalized. In conclusion, this research paper aims to clarify the intricate interactions among political upheaval, social mobilization, and cultural changes, providing insightful information about the continuing importance of civil resistance movements as engines of justice and development in the contemporary period.
