Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The idea of Satyagraha emphasised the power of truth and the need to search for truth. The Satyagraha movement suggested that using physical force to combat the oppressor was unnecessary if the cause was just and the fight was sincere against injustice. It was based on the particular nonviolent protest method that Mahatma Gandhi pioneered in South Africa. Gandhiji later advised people to demonstrate peacefully against the Rowlatt Act (1919) because the causes of the protests were real, and the struggle was against injustice. This movement, known as the "Rowlatt Satyagraha," was initiated after Gandhiji returned to India in 1915.
