Duties of Satyagrahis
Gandhiji describes Satyagrahis as the “real constitutionalist”, as it is their moral duty to disobedience against evil laws. Satyagrahis have the right to uphold Satya and practice ahimsa which cannot be abdicated. A satygrahi is prepared to accept the opponent’s position if it holds true.
A satyagrahi willingly accepts the full penalties, with rigorous jail punishment, undertaken by law-abiding citizens. He accepts personal responsibility publicly. In rehearsing satyagraha, the satyagrahis need to satisfy the accompanying obligations:
Notice peacefulness as a primary concern. Notice the main driver of a circumstance. Look for the truth. Go through a course of self-investigation. Stick to peacefulness.
The Idea of Satyagraha
The idea of satyagraha refers to the method used for mass agitation, emphasizing the powers of truth and the need to search for truth. The idea of satyagraha upholds the belief that if the cause for agitation is true and the fight is against the injustices in society, then there is no need to assert physical force or any form of coercion against the oppressor.
