Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gandhi understood nonviolence from its Sanskrit root “Ahimsa". Ahimsa is just translated to mean nonviolence in English, but it implies more than just avoidance of physical violence. Ahimsa implies total nonviolence, no physical violence, and no passive violence. Gandhi translates Ahimsa as love.
