The present paper chiefly deals with Gandhi’s concept of satyagraha and non-violence. Whenever we hear about aggressive outburst in society for social injustice or any other reason, one immediately brings Gandhi amidst the contrast. Gandhi’s principles remained much discussed issue among moderates and extremists since the beginning. Merely getting our desired result by any means without consideration of ends is not, according Gandhian ideology, an appropriate way of dealing with socio-political exploitation and injustice. But still many people are of opinion to apply brute force if we may achieve satisfactory result. This contradiction leads us towards the dilemma what Gandhi thinks of satyagraha and how it can be applied in the struggle for truth. Therefore, it is noteworthy also to look at how it can be practiced in extreme cases. The paper elaborates what is the scope of satyagraha in battling with social injustices and discriminations through non-violence and soul-force. Whether widening the range of sympathy and self suffering would be suffice to eradicate all social evils is a recurring question and how much it is probable to get transformation in opponent’s heart. Thus, it might be interesting to excavate how Gandhi felt and interpreted the concept of truth and non-violence.
