Option 4 : 1, 2, 3 and 4

The correct answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Satyagraha term was developed by Mahatma Gandhi.

  • The term was developed during the struggles for human rights (Racialism) in South Africa and later in Indian National Movement. Hence statement 1 is correct.
  • According to him, Truth (Satya) means to love and agraha means firmness (another word for force).
  • He described the Indian National Movement as Satyagraha because of a force derived from truth and non-violence (love). Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • He described that while pursuing the truth, one must follow patience.
    • Patience is another term for self-suffering.
    • So, the doctrine of truth means or suppressing evils by suffering on oneself not by inflicting on the opponent. Hence statement 3 is correct.
  • Gandhiji's first major movement in India was Champaran Satyagraha.
    • The issue involved the cultivators who were forced by the Europeans to cultivate indigo on 3/20th of their holdings (tinkathia system).
    • As a result of this movement, the Government appointed a commission for inquiry and nominated Gandhiji as one of its members.
    • The commission concluded that the tinkathia system needed to be abolished and peasants should be compensated for illegal enhancement of their dues.
    • In the end, after the compromise, Gandhiji agreed that they refund only 25% of the money they had taken illegally from the peasants.
    • Hence statement 4 is correct.
