Satyagraha (from Sanskrit: satya: 'truth', graha: 'insistence' or 'holding firmly to'), Holding firmly to truth, or truth force, is a particular form of nonviolent resistance or civil resistance. Someone who practises satyagraha is a satyagrahi.

Gandhi practised satyagraha as part of the Indian independence movement and also during his earlier struggles in South Africa for Indian rights. Satyagraha theory influenced Martin Luther King Jr.'s and James Bevel's campaigns during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, as well as Nelson Mandela's struggle against apartheid in South Africa and many other social-justice and similar movements.
