Question

Answer 1

A policy of passive politic resistance, especially that advocated by महात्मा गाँधी against ब्रिटिश rule

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Satyagraha was a novel method of mass agitation in a non-violent way.

The idea of Satyagraha emphasized upon the power of truth and the need to search for truth. It suggested that if the cause was true and if the struggle was against injustice, then physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor.

Through non-violent methods, a Satyagraha could appeal the conscience of the oppressor by the power of truth.

People -including the oppressors -had to be persuaded to see the truth through the use of non-violence.

Gandhiji firmly believed that the truth was bound to ultimately triumph.
