satyagraha

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

satyagraha

Nonviolent resistance to British rule in India, as employed by Mahatma Gandhi from 1918 to press for political reform; the idea owes much to the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.

Satyagraha

Opera by Philip Glass based on the life of Gandhi. The title is based on Gandhi's slogan, the two Hindi words saty, ‘truth’, and agraha, ‘firmness’. Gandhi's early struggles in South Africa are balanced with portraits of Tolstoy, Tagore, and Martin Luther King. The opera is sung in Sanskrit and was first produced in Rotterdam on 5 September 1980.
