NOT PASSIVE
Mahatma Gandhi lead many peaceful rebellions against oppressive governments, first in South Africa and later in British-controlled India. At first he called his strategy "passive resistance," but later disavowed that term because it had negative implications. He ultimately chose the Sanskrit word satyagraha, meaning "love force" or "truth force."
"Truth (satya) implies love," he said,
"and firmness (agraha) is a synonym for force.
Satyagraha is thus
the force which is born of truth and love."
