Mahatma Gandhi is known to have used the novel method of mass agitation - satyagraha - against the racist regime in South Africa. The idea of satyagraha emphasises the power of truth and the need to search for truth. It suggests that if the cause is true and is arrayed against injustice, then physical force is not necessary to fight the oppressor. A satyagrahi can win the battle, not necessarily by seeking vengeance or being aggressive, but through non-violence, by appealing to the conscience of the oppressor. Satyagraha proposes that people, including the oppressors, have to be persuaded to see the truth, instead of being coerced into accepting it through direct or indirect violence. By this struggle, truth is bound to ultimately emerge triumphant.
