उत्तर
Gandhiji's Satyagraha was an innovative method to fight against the British atrocities. The following points are the main planks of Satyagraha:
Satyagraha literally means an appeal for truth.
It aimed at appealing to the heart of the oppressor and making them realise their mistake by way of peaceful methods.
Gandhiji believed that if one is truthful and honest to oneself and is fighting injustice, then the use of force is not necessary.
Satyagraha involves peaceful persuasion of the oppressor to see the truth. The main planks of Satyagraha are truth and non-violence.
By following non-violence, a satyagrahi could win any battle without taking revenge or getting aggressive.

Mewat is one of the most backward areas in Haryana. It used to be a part of two districts, Gurgaon and Faridabad. The people of Mewat felt that the area will get better attention if it were to become a separate district. But political parties were indifferent to this sentiment. The demand for a separate district was raised by Mewat Educational and Social Organisation and Mewat Saksharta Samiti in 1996. Later, Mewat Vikas Sabha was founded in 2000 and carried out a series of public awareness campaigns. This forced both the major parties, Congress and the Indian National Lok Dal, to announce their support for the new district before the assembly elections held in February 2005. The new district came into existence in July 2005.
