Satyagraha is a philosophy of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience developed by Mahatma Gandhi, grounded in the principles of truth and moral righteousness. It emphasizes the power of moral authority over violence, encouraging individuals to oppose injustice through peaceful means. An example of satyagraha in action is the Salt March of 1930, where Gandhi led thousands to the sea to produce salt, defying British salt laws, illustrating the effectiveness of peaceful protest in challenging oppressive governing systems.
