Satyagraha: Introduction Gandhi said he learned satyagraha from his wife -- she practiced it on him. Hmmmm. Satyagraha is not just a technique for liberating colonies or achieving civil rights. It can be used at work, at home, and maybe even on the internet. Before you leave this website, I hope you realize satyagraha can be used whenever you are fighting for what is right.
To use satyagraha, especially in your own situation, you need to know the principles of satyagraha. Gandhi and King listed principles, but they weren't theoreticians. Before you leave this website, I hope you understand how and why satyagraha works.
Some people are attracted to the supposed nonviolence of satyagraha. That has its value. But before you leave this website, I hope you understand satyagraha can effectively achieve good goals.
Satyagraha is not a dead historical idea -- it is an effective technique for fighting good fights. But I would not mind if you left this website with an "Oh Wow!" appreciation of Gandhi and King.
They were, in a nonviolent way, masters of battle technique.
