Gandhi’s main tactic in his fight against the British was what he called Satyagraha, which means “SoulForce” or “The power of truth”. Gandhi developed Satyagraha as the practical extension of ahimsa and love; it meant standing firmly behind one’s ideals, but without hatred. Satyagraha took the form of civil disobedience and non-cooperation with evil. Civil disobedience involved breaking a specific law if it was believed to be unjust, and then facing the consequences.
