      What is meant by Satyagraha? Or How did Gandhiji apply the idea of Satyagraha in our country?      

    Answer:

                      Satyagraha is a method of agitation and protest based on truth and non-violence. It was first introduced by Mahatma Gandhi in the National Movement. The method was passive resistance, consisting of defiance of laws, non payment of taxes, boycott of government institutions, etc. First Gandhiji applied Satyagraha in 1916 in Champaran district of Bihar to help the peasant against the unjust plantation owners. Then he organized Satyagraha in Kheda district of Gujarat in support of peasants in 1917 and also in Ahmedabad in favour of cotton mill workers in 1918.
