Mahatma Gandhi adopted the Satyagraha Movement as a real and active weapon of winning savagery. He trusted that Satyagraha is a particular type of struggle where there is no doubt of victory or defeat. It is certain that his investigation of the Hindu tradition and his experience of passive resistance against racial discrimination in South Africa helped a ton in developing and concretizing his idea of Satyagraha.
Meaning of Satyagraha
The root meaning of Satyagraha is holding on to truth. Gandhi called it 'truth drive', life-power' or 'soul-compel'. Many individuals think of it as a technique for the political development carried on against the British Raj.
According to Krishnalal Shridharani, "Satyagraha is a direct non-violent struggle."
According to Dr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, Satyagraha is a strategy for struggle against the underhandedness and a way of settlement of disputes.
M.N. Jha defined Satyagraha as 'ethical self-realization process of dialectics.'
Nature of Satyagraha
This theory of Satyagraha is based upon two ideas:
(I) Satya or truth and
(ii) ahimsa or non-brutality.
The embodiment of Satyagraha Movement is to battle against injustice with the most extreme may, courting all sorts of sacrifice and sufferings. Satyagraha is resistance with no acrimony or hatred or injury to the rival.
The entirety and substance of Satyagraha is to awaken in the mind of the adversary the feeling of equity and win his heart without hurting him.
