Satya means truth and agraha means the path. Satyagraha according to Mahatma Gandhi was the path of truth through which one can fight the injustice of the oppressor. Gandhi added the value of non-violence or ‘ahimsa’ to the idea of satyagraha, he proclaimed that the fight against injustice can be won without the use of physical force against the oppressor.
