Answer
According to Mahatma Gandhi satyagraha is active resistance and not a weapon of the weak, but the power which can be used only by the strong. This power calls for intense activity. Satyagraha is pure soul-force. Truth is the very substance of the soul. Therefore, it cannot be termed as a passive resistance.
