Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The concept of Satyagraha was based on non-violence. It involves the integration of truth with violence. For Gandhiji, non-violence had broader meaning, "a way of life based on love and compassion." In Gandhi's terminology, Satyagraha, Truth-force was an outgrowth of nonviolence.

Statement 2 is correct: Gandhi's method aimed to win not by overwhelming but by converting his opponent - or as the Gandhian say, by bringing about a "change of heart."
