Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi's first great experiment in Satyagraha in India took place at Champaran, Bihar, in 1917. He was invited by Raj Kumar Shukla to investigate the grievances of indigo peasants who were oppressed by European planters under the Tinkathia system (compulsory cultivation of indigo on 3/20th of the land). This successful intervention established Satyagraha as a potent tool in the Indian freedom struggle.

  • Kheda Satyagraha (1918): His first non-cooperation movement, focused on land revenue remission during a famine.
  • Rowlatt Satyagraha (1919): His first nationwide Satyagraha against the repressive Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act.
