Satyagraha (philosophy)

Satyagraha is a philosophy of nonviolent resistance developed by Mahatma Gandhi, emphasizing the power of truth and moral integrity to bring about social change. It involves protesting unjust laws or policies through peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and steadfast commitment to truth, without resorting to violence or hatred. The core idea is that moral strength and unwavering conviction can influence opponents and inspire societal transformation, demonstrating that lasting change arises from righteousness and compassion, not force. Satyagraha seeks to confront injustice with patience, humility, and perseverance, aiming to achieve justice while preserving human dignity.
