Satyagraha | Vibepedia

Satyagraha, or 'truth force', is a form of nonviolent resistance developed by Mahatma Gandhi, influencing movements such as the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and the anti-apartheid movement led by Nelson Mandela. This philosophy has been applied by social justice movements worldwide, including those inspired by Gandhi's Indian independence movement and James Bevel's civil rights activism. The concept of satyagraha has also been explored by scholars like Noam Chomsky and activists like Malala Yousafzai, who have used similar nonviolent resistance tactics in their own struggles for human rights and social change.
