Question

write on satyagra movement note

Answer 1

Mahatma Gandhi adopted the Satyagraha Movement as a real and active weapon of winning violence. He believed that Satyagraha is a particular form of struggle where there is no question of victory or defeat. It is beyond doubt that his study of the Hindu tradition and his experience of passive resistance against racial discrimination in South Africa helped a lot 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 force’, life-force’ or ‘soul-force’. Many people consider it a method of the political movement carried on against the British Raj.

Answer 2

Satyagraha (Sanskrit: सत्याग्रह satyāgraha) is the idea of non-violent resistance (fighting with peace) started by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also known as "Mahatma" Gandhi). Gandhi used satyagraha in the Indian independence movement and also during his earlier struggle in South Africa.

Satyagraha helped shape Nelson Mandela's struggle in South Africa under apartheid, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s campaigns during the civil rights movement in the United States, and many other similar movements. Someone who does satyagraha is a satyagrahi.

Meaning of the term Edit

Gandhi leading Salt Satyagraha, a notable example of Satyagraha
The word Satyagraha is from the Sanskrit words satya (meaning "truth") and Agraha ("insistence", or "holding firmly to"). For Gandhi, Satyagraha went far beyond just "passive resistance" (resisting without taking action) according to him it was a moral force born of truth and non-violence. His non-violence also became his strength. He said that he chose the name because Truth means Love, and Insistence means Force, and the Sanskrit name showed it was a force born from Truth and Love (non-violence).[1]

He also wrote that he liked the term "Civil Resistance" better than "Civil disobedience".[2] Gandhi also translated it as "love force" or "soul force".[3]

What is the programme Edit
In most conflict, the goal is to defeat the enemy, to stop him from meeting his goal, or to meet a goal that the enemy is trying to stop. But in Satyagraha, these are not the goals. The goal, Gandhi said, is to change the mind of the wrong-doer, not to force him.[4] Winning means getting along with the enemy to make what is wrong right again, which they might not realize is wrong. For this to happen, the enemy's mind must change to realize that he is stopping a goal that is right.



Nonviolence (ahimsa)
Truth — this includes honesty, but also means living fully for what is true, and agreeing with it
Not stealing
Chastity (brahmacharya) — this means keeping moral sexually, but also giving more attention to following truth than to satisfying urges.
Non-possession or nor owning (not the same as being poor)
Body-labor or bread-labor
Not eating much that is not good
Not being afraid
Equal respect for all religions
Fighting with boycotts (not spending or buying from those who are a problem)
Freedom from untouchability, or the idea of a caste (a group of people with the same amounts of money and power) that is so low that it "cannot be touched".
Another time, Gandhi gave seven important rules:[5] A satyagrahi:

must have a living faith in God
must believe in truth and non-violence, and have faith in the goodness of human nature
must be leading a chaste (moral) life, and be willing to die or lose all he owns
must be a khadi wearer and spinner
must stay away from alcohol
must follow all other rules of discipline he gave them .
if he is put in jail, he must obay the jail rules, unless they are specially made to hurt his self-respect
