Question

Do you agree that satyagrah was active resistance? Justify

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Gandhi, active resistance means "War without violence."

In Sanskrit, Satya means "truth" while agraha means "great interest or enthusiasm."

Satyaagraha therefore means the firmness of truth. When people are knowledgeable or know the truth, they will fight their opponents without being violent. Knowledge is a truth-force (love-force or soul-force) that you can use against your opponent.
