What was satyagraha?

Satyagraha, (Sanskrit and Hindi: “holding onto truth”) concept introduced in the early 20th century by Mahatma Gandhi to designate a determined but nonviolent resistance to evil. Gandhi’s satyagraha became a major tool in the Indian struggle against British imperialism and has since been adopted by protest groups in other countries.

What were its features ?

the main features of satyagraha are:-

(i) The idea of Satyagraha emphasised the power of truth and the need to search for truth.

(ii) This idea suggested that if the cause was true, if the struggle was against injustice, then physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor. Without being aggressive, the Satyagrahi could win the battle.

(iii) This could be achieved by appealing to the conscience of the oppressor.

(iv) By this struggle, truth was bound to triumph ultimately. Gandhiji believed that this dharma of non-violence could unite all Indians.
