Literally Satyagraha means clinging to truth, holding fast to truth, insistence on truth, or firm adherence to truth. Gandhiji described Satyagraha as “firmness in a good cause” in Indian opinion. In Young India, he pointed out that Satyagraha was just a new name for “the law of self-suffering”. Obviously Gandhiji is credited to have applied this tool successfully in South Africa and later in India leading to freedom of the country from colonial British yoke. Racial discrimination and slavery were rampant in all walks of life in the United States of America. Coloured people especially Afro-Americans had been worst victims. Influenced by Gandhiji's ideology and Satyagraha doctrine, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. launched massive campaign for social justice and emancipation of Afro-Americans using civil disobedience, civil resistance etc. as weapons of movement, finally leading to success.
As the name of the title suggests, this book narrates the saga of triumphant Satyagraha movement in different locales on the globe with Mahatma Gandhi and Rev. Dr. M. L. King Jr. as protagonists.
Supported by facts and figures, this categorical account of Satyagraha movement will delight and enlighten one and all concerned.
