The principles of Satyagraha never supported any form of violence and it was a war without violence. Gandhi proposed some principles for the members of the Satyagraha and insisted that these principles must be followed to achieve the desired effect. His concept of Satyagraha was focused on the different concepts like love, truth, non-violence, non-stealing, chastity or Brahmacharya, poverty or non-possession, bread labor, fearlessness, control of the palate (asvada), tolerance, Swadeshi, and removal of untouchability, and never did he like to call it as only a “passive resistance”. Gandhi has proved before the world that Satyagraha is the noblest form of revolution that could win even great battles without bloodshed. Satyagraha was the most effective weapon used by Gandhi during his lifetime to fight morally against the British and the whites of South Africa to attain freedom. His teachings, based on truth, non-violence, and Satyagraha are relevant even in the present world. Gandhi, the great humanitarian world has ever seen, had his ideologies and principles regarding freedom and war.
