Mahatma Gandhi's satyagraha



Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha was a powerful non-violent resistance
movement that played a significant role in India's struggle for independence
from British rule. Here's a short note:



*What is Satyagraha?*



Satyagraha, coined by Gandhi, combines two Sanskrit words: "Satya" (truth)
and "Agraha" (firmness). It means holding onto truth and firmness in the
pursuit of justice and freedom.



*Key Principles:*



1. Non-violence (Ahimsa)

2. Non-cooperation with unjust laws

3. Civil disobedience

4. Self-suffering (accepting punishment)

5. Truthfulness and honesty



*Major Satyagraha Movements:*



1. Champaran Satyagraha (1917) - against British indigo planters

2. Kheda Satyagraha (1918) - for farmers' rights

3. Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922) - against British rule

4. Salt Satyagraha (1930) - against salt tax

5. Quit India Movement (1942) - for immediate independence
