Dear friends,
My friend gave me the fabulous explanation of what is the similarity between
salt satyagraha and software satyagraha.
Dandi March :
The salt march was aimed to send a clearcut message to the ouster of british
regime which enforced taxes for a mineral(salt) which is available free of
cost in the coastline.
Gundy March:
We, The foss enthusiats convey the need of FOSS software which is available
at free of cost, instead of taking a proprietory solution to the common man
of India.
I read the meaning of what satyagraha from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_March which quotes the words of Mahatma
as
*"Truth (Satya) implies Love, and Firmness (Agraha) engenders and therefore
serves as a synonym for force? that is to say, the Force which is born of
Truth and Love or Non-violence? [If] we are Satyagrahis and offer
Satyagraha, believing ourselves to be strong? we grow stronger and stronger
everyday. With our increase in strength, our Satyagraha too becomes more
effective, and we would never be casting about for an opportunity to give it
up."* --Gandhi

Sincerely
