Solution
Satyagraha
The idea of Satyagraha basically lays emphasis the power of truth and the demand to search for truth.
It suggests that if the cause was true, if the struggle was against injustice, then the physical force is not necessary to fight the oppressor.
Without asking vengeance or being aggressive, a satyagrahi could win the battle through nonviolence.
This could be done by appealing to the conscience of the oppressor.
The common people – including the oppressors – had to be persuaded to see the truth, rather than being forced to accept truth with the help of violence.
