"The principle called Satyagraha came into being before the name was invented. Indeed when it was born, I myself could ot say what it was. In Gujarati also we used the English phrase 'passive resistance' to describe it.
When in a meeting of Europeans I found that the term 'passive resistance' was too narrowly construed, that it was supposed to be a weapon of the weak, that it could be characterized by hatred, and that it could finally manifest itself as violence, I had to demur to all these statements and explain the real nature of the Indian movement."
