	Satyagraha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satyagraha (Sanskrit: सत्याग्रह satyāgraha) is the philosophy of nonviolent resistance most famously employed by Mohandas Gandhi in forcing an end to the British Raj in India and also during his struggles in South Africa.
		Satyagraha and its offshoots, non-cooperation and civil disobedience, are based on the law of suffering, a doctrine that the endurance of suffering is a means to an end.
		I often used 'passive resistance' and 'satyagraha' as synonymous terms: but as the doctrine of satyagraha developed, the expression 'passive resistance' ceases even to be synonymous, as passive resistance has admitted of violence as in the case of suffragettes and has been universally acknowledged to be a weapon of the weak.

		While he continued to argue that satyagraha could reveal the truth to opponents and win them over, he often spoke of it in military terms and planned actions that were intended not so much to convert adversaries but to jeopardize their interests if they did not yield.
		The fight of Satyagraha is for the strong in spirit, not the doubter or the timid.
		Satyagraha thrives on repression till at last the repressor is tired and the object of Satyagraha is gained.

	Satyagraha Movement of M.K. Gandhi
		I thus began to call the Indian movement "Satyagraha", that is to say, the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence, and gave up the use of the phrase "passive resistance".
		"Satyagraha" had become the cry of all those who felt aggrieved, and popular agitations, however organized and whatever their objective, were widely described as "satayagraha movements".
		A) A satyagrahi (one who practices satyagraha) must be willing to shoulder any sacrifice which is occasioned by the struggle which they have initiated, rather than pushing such sacrifice or suffering onto their opponent, lest the opponent become alienated and access to their portion of the truth become lost.

	Satyagraha
		Satyagraha is a term at the centre of Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence.
		Satyagraha is as far away from passive resistance as the North Pole is from the South Pole.
		Satyagraha is also referred to as the power of the soul, because the certainty of an inherent soul is necessary, if the Satyagraha is to believe that death does not mean the end but the summit of the fight.

		Since satyagraha is one of the most powerful methods of direct action, a satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.
		The idea underlying satyagraha is to convert the wrongdoer, to awaken the sense of justice in him, to show him also that without the co-operation, direct or indirect, of the wronged the wrongdoer cannot do the wrong intended by him.
		In a satyagraha army everybody is a soldier and a servant.

	Towards an Understanding of the Transformational Nature of Satyagraha by Terri L. Kelly
		The renunciation of materialistic concerns and worldly possessions is arguably the fountainhead of Satyagraha.
		Gandhi attributes the success of the final phase of the satyagraha campaign in South Africa between 1908 and 1914 to the "spiritual purification and penance" afforded by the Tolstoy Farm.
		It should be noted here that in keeping with the practical implications of Satyagraha, Gandhi's stays in prisons during his campaigns afforded him the simple living and large blocks of time needed to further his philosophical education and contemplate the fate of his people.

	THE FIRST MARTYRS OF SATYAGRAHA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It was already clear that though satyagraha is a totally non-violent and civilised form of resistance, the oppressors would try to break it by resort to an escalation of brutality, together with "dirty tricks" to confuse and divide the ranks of the resisters.
		At the last stage of the satyagraha in 1913, when Indian workers went on strike, they were subjected to brutal assaults by the army and mounted police, as well as mine and estate managers.
		Gandhiji mentioned in Satyagraha in South Africa that two infants died during the Great March of Indian workers in October-November 1913 - one of exposure and the other of drowning, falling from the arms of its mother while she was crossing a spruit.

		The genesis of the birth of Satyagraha can be traced to an Ordinance which the Apartheid regime in South Africa sought to impose upon the Indian immigrants.
		Satyagraha, Gandhiji said, is ‘the vindication of truth not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but on one’s self.” That requires self-control.
		Perhaps the most appropriate way to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Satyagraha would be to reflect on how a colossal revolution took place in India without the violence that occurred in other countries of Asia and Africa.

	Safe Water Group: It's Satyagraha Time
		First, as Gandhi insisted, satyagraha is scrupulously nonviolent, but anything "passive." It is, he maintained, a form of warfare, whose goal is to remove tyranny from power and re-establish legitimate self-rule.
		So Satyagraha is relentless, and its only time frame is eternity--for as Jamaican singer Jimmy Cliff once put it, "I'd rather be a free man in my grave/Than living as a puppet or a slave." Also, Gandhi insisted that truth was the most powerful thing in the universe, and nothing could resist it indefinitely.
		The other important aspect of Satyagraha, for Gaian purposes, is that it does not merely involve resisting injustice; it also, as Gandhi practiced it, involves reweaving the social contract in order to create a just and sustainable social order.

		Satyagraha is the policy of passive resistance as a method of gaining social and political reforms.
		Inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1919, ‘Satyagraha’ has been seized upon to describe many forms of opposition to government, and to explain almost any direct social or political action short of organized violence.
		Satyagraha has actually been tried in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the form of school and commercial strikes, petitions, protest telegrams, advertisements and condemnations in the daily papers, and attempts to boycott Israeli goods.
