Question

The word 'Satyagraha' was given by:

A.

Mahatma Gandhi

B.

Maganlal Gandhi

C.

Devadas Gandhi

D.

Kasturba Gandhi

Correct option is B

The term 'Satyagraha' was coined by Maganlal Gandhi, a close associate and cousin of Mahatma Gandhi, during the early days of Gandhi's activism in South Africa. The term was developed to describe the nonviolent resistance movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. "Satya" means truth, and "Agraha" means insistence or holding firmly to. Thus, "Satyagraha" roughly translates to "holding onto truth" or "truth force."
