Satyagraha literally means an appeal for truth. Gandhiji used the method of non-violent struggle against the colonialist powers and termed it as satyagraha. Satyagraha aimed at appealing to the heart of the oppressor and making him realize his mistake by way of peaceful methods. Gandhiji believed that if one is truthful and honest to oneself and is fighting injustice, then use of force is not necessary. Satyagraha involves peaceful persuasion of the oppressor to see the truth. The mainplanks of satyagraha are truth and non-violence.
