<span style="color: #222222;">In the series on Gandhian Philosophy, AIR will focus on the aspect of Satyagrah as preached and practiced by the Mahatma.<br />”<br />”The concept of Satyagraha was first devised by Mahatma Gandhi not in India, but while living among Indian inhabitants in South Africa in 1907, when he organised an opposition to the Asiatic Registration Law, also called the Black Act.&nbsp; It took seven years of protest and the Black Act was finally repealed in June 1914.&nbsp; Gandhiji proved that perseverance, working with a community and most importantly a nonviolent movement can achieve the desired goal.<br />”<br />”For Gandhiji, Satyagraha was not just a means of non-violent struggle but it became the philosophy of his life. By giving the concept of Satyagraha, Gandhiji showed mankind to win over greed and fear by love. In this principle of non-violence, Mahatma Gandhi introduced the technique of resistance to evil and untruth. His Satyagraha was inspired by boundless love and compassion. It is opposed to sin, not sinner, the evil, not evildoer.<br />”<br />”Many countries have witnessed popular movements for freedom, equality and peace, which drew inspiration from the life and methods of Mahatma Gandhi.&nbsp;</span><br />
