Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satyagraha, a form of nonviolent civil disobedience, was developed by Gandhi drawing on the Indian tradition of ahimsa (nonviolence) and the concept of dharma (duty or righteousness). While there may have been elements of Buddhist and Muslim philosophy that influenced Gandhi, his primary inspiration came from the religious and cultural traditions of his native India. The Mughal Empire, a Muslim dynasty that ruled over India from the 16th to 19th century, did not directly influence Gandhi's development of satyagraha.
