Solution
Gandhiji Method of Struggle ‘Satyagraha’ is a combination of two Sanskrit words: Satya (truth) and agraha (eagerness). It is based on the twin principles of truth and non-violence. The suffering and patience of the Satyagraha were expected to bring about a change of heart in the enemy. The idea behind satyagraha was not to destroy the enemy but to transform and enlighten him.
