Detailed Solution

The meaning of Satyagraha is a non-violent method of fighting against oppression that does not inflict pain.
Satyagraha can be defined as "firmly holding to truth" or "truth force." A Satyagrahi is someone who practices Satyagraha. Mahatma Gandhi refined the word Satyagraha, which he used in the Indian independence movement and earlier campaigns for Indian rights in South Africa. At times, the term Satyagraha refers to the whole idea of nonviolence, which is fundamentally similar to the idea of ahimsa.
