Answer:
Gandhi's Satyagraha is a form of 'non-violent resistance'. He coined the word 'Satyagraha' during the Indian Freedom Movement. The words have a Sanskrit origin where 'Satya' means 'truth' and 'agrapha' means 'polite persuasion'. The meaning was that it is the force that was born out of truth and love which in turn encourages one to resort to non-violent methods to persuade anyone to listen to the truth.
Gandhi also employed satyagraha during his stay in South Africa. Owing to its success there, he used it as a weapon against the Britisher to achieve freedom.
Satyagraha was a novel method of mass agitation.
1. The idea of Satyagraha emphasized the power of truth and the need to search for truth.
2. It suggested that if the cause was true and if the struggle was against injustice, then the physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor.
3. Through non-violent methods a Satyagraha could appeal the conscience of the oppressor by the power of truth, which was bound to win.
