Answer:

Gandhi's Satyagraha is a form of 'non-violent resistance'. He coined the word 'Satyagraha' during the Indian Freedom Movement. The words have Sanskrit  origin where 'satya' means 'truth' and 'agraha' means 'polite persuasion'. The meaning was that it is the force which 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 its success there, he used it as a weapon against the Britisher to achieve freedom.

It was a non-violent method of mass agitation against the Oppressor.

It emphasised the power of truth and the need to search the truth.

It suggested that if the cause was true, if the struggle was against injustice, there is no need for physical force to fight the oppressor.

People-including the oppressors had to be persuaded to see the truth instead of being forced to accept truth through the use of violence.

By this struggle, truth was bound to be victorious.
