Expert Answer
In order to practise satyagraha, an individual has to have a strong faith in the principles of truth and non-violence. He should also be willing to fight evil regardless of the cost of doing so. A follower of satyagraha has to be extremely strong morally, fearless and he should hate evil but not the evil doer. To resist evil, he should be ready to make extreme sacrifices and withstand suffering of any kind. This is so because the underlying idea behind the concept of satyagraha is not the destruction of the enemy but his or her transformation.
