Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ahimsa : In Gandhi’s Satyagraha, truth is inseparable from Ahimsa. Ahimsa expresses as ancient Hindu, Jain and Buddhist ethical precept. The negative prefix ‘a’ plus himsa meaning injury make up the world normally translated ‘nonviolence’.
Detailed explanation-2: -For Mahatma Gandhi Ahimsa―non-violence was a Dharma, no matter if, for him, it was a plant of slow growth; and along with its activities, applicable in day-to-day practices, it was the means to achieve the goal. Satyagraha―pursuit of Truth―fully imbibed with Ahimsa was the weapon applied in political actions.
