![SATYAGRAHA
Satyagraha literally means holding on to truth or truth force.
It was a non-violent struggle introduced by Gandhiji in the Indian
National Movement.
It persuades the opponent to understand the truth.
If the cause was true and if the fight was against injustice then
physical force was not necessary to fight the oppressor.

Satyagraha.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/centralindiaacademy-copy-170106131240/85/nationalism-in-India-class-10th-cbse-indian-struggle-for-freedom-9-320.jpg)
