The Concept of Satyagraha:
According to Gandhiji, Satyagraha is the only way of social revolution. Satyagrah consists of two words – ‘Satya’ and ‘Agraha’, which means ‘standing firm on truth’. A man who fights for truth, can never be defeated, and the satyagrahi himself bears all the sufferings and agony and tries to change the heart his oppressor. According to Gandhiji, non – co – operation, civil disobedience, fasting and hunger strike, etc. are different types of satyagraha. Gandhiji, from time to time, used these types of satyagraha during the independence movement. He believed,if satyagraha is used instead of violence and terror, all the global problems and crisis would be solved. According to Gandhiji, a satyagrahi should talk to his oppressor at first and then should start his satyagrah.
