Welcome to our website. We would like to make this an exciting journey for you. This web site will give you insight into our organisation, its structure, and to get to know the people who serve on our board.
We are of the firm belief that as we interact with people we learn and we broaden our perspectives. We are able to see other points of view as we read about them and discuss them.
Because our work is about personal and communal development aimed at creating a non-violent ethos, we look forward to interacting with you. Your contributions and thoughts will help us understand our world better so please do communicate with us.
We hope you enjoy perusing through the web site. Please remember that articles that we publish in Satyagraha are not always our own views but for the sake of promoting democratic debate on important issues we publish other points of view as well.
Satyagraha in Pursuit of Truth
Welcome!
What is Satyagraha?
Satyagraha is a philosophy and practice of nonviolent resistance developed by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi deployed satyagraha in campaigns for Indian independence and also during his earlier struggles in South Africa.
Term: Satyagraha
Gandhi coined the term Satyagraha to describe his philosophy of nonviolent resistance. In developing satyagraha, Gandhi was influenced by the concept of ahimsa in the Hindu Upanishads and the tenets of Jainism.
