Fascism

B.

Truth-force

C.

Criticism

D.

Political affiliation

Correct option is B

The Correct Answer is: (b) Truth-force
Explanation:
The central aspect of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology was “Truth-force”, also known by the term Satyagraha. Derived from the Sanskrit words “Satya” (truth) and “Agraha”
(insistence or holding firmly to), Satyagraha was Gandhiji’s unique method of non-violent resistance.
Information Booster:
• Gandhiji’s philosophy also emphasized self-reliance (Swadeshi), trusteeship, and Sarvodaya (welfare of all).
• His ideas deeply influenced civil rights movements across the world, including those led by Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.
• Gandhi's first experiments with Satyagraha were in South Africa before he applied them in India.
• Gandhiji applied this principle in several movements such as:
  • Champaran Satyagraha (1917)

  • Kheda Satyagraha (1918)

  • Non-Cooperation Movement (1920)

  • Salt March / Dandi March (1930)
