Answer:
1. Gandhiji strongly believed in the power of truth and the idea of Satyagraha. He felt that if the cause of the fight was true and against injustice, then physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor.
2.Without the use of aggression, a satyagrahi could appeal to the conscience of the oppressor and persuade him to see the truth, instead of forcing him to accept it through the use of violence. Therefore, the truth was ultimately bound to succeed.
3. After observing the divide in the nationalist movement amongst various communities and groups in India, he made attempts to unite the people of India through the dharma of ahimsa i.e. nonviolence.
