Question

Explain the idea of satyagraha according to gandhiji. give any three points

Answer 1

Satyagraha :

The term Satyagraha is made up of two Sanskrit words - Satya which means truth and Agraha which means the insistence to hold fast.

To Gandhiji, Satyagraha was a moral force born of truth and non-violence. It meant to be fearless, truthful as well as peaceful, suffering willingly while refusing to submit to what is wrong. But even while resisting evil, it would not involve hatred towards the evil-doer.

Gandhiji's Satyagraha Movement was directed against the British system of exploitation and not the British people individually or collectively.

Gandhiji made a distinction between Satyagraha and Passive resistance. Passive resistance does not exclude the use of physical force for the purpose of gaining one's end, whereas Satyagraha excludes the use of violence.

• 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.
