ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION IN 25 - 30 WORDS.
1. Explain the philosophy of Satyagraha.
Ans => Satyagraha is a Sanskrit word means holding onto the truth. It was used in the early 20th Century by Mahatma Gandhi as a form to resist evil in the nonviolent method. Satyagraha became a major role in the Indian struggle against the Britishers and was also adopted by many groups in other countries as well. According to this philosophy satyagrahis observe a nonviolence method in their mind with peace and love in the spirit and follow the process of self-scrutiny. They never submit to the wrong and co-operate with them through the use of truth. They do not wish to use any violent method which can hurt the opposite party. They do not wish to defeat the opposition or win over them but rather focus only on a new harmony. This is drawn from the ancient philosophy of ahimsa introduced by the Jains in Gujarat.
2. Why the Swaraj Party
established ?
Ans => To take part in the legislative council meetings and voice the problems of India and the Indians
C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru formed the Swaraj Party within the Congress to argue for a return to council politics. The main purpose was to oppose British policies within the councils, argue for reform and also demonstrate that these councils were not truly democratic.
