Abstract: In this paper, I have discussed how Self-knowledge and Self-realization can be a form of resistance to oppressive regimes of totalitarianism, colonialism and majoritarian States. An individual who engages in Self-realization through productive work and love through which his uniqueness is realized will have a fulfilled life and thus would not surrender to oppressive regimes that seek to curb his individuality. However, when the Self is not realized the man seeks a mechanism of escape to which he could surrender the responsibility of his Self and thus he surrenders to these regimes. In the colonial context also the path to liberation is through the realization of the Self by the masses that would resist the colonial regime.
