After returning from South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi launched his first successful Satyagraha in Champaran. In 1917, Gandhiji went to Champaran district in Bihar to support the indigo farmers who were being forced to grow indigo by British planters. The farmers were facing exploitation and oppression, and Gandhi organized a peaceful resistance movement to fight for their rights.

Gandhiji`s efforts in Champaran were successful in bringing about positive change and securing justice for the indigo farmers. This marked an important milestone in Gandhiji`s journey of nonviolent resistance and became a significant event in India`s freedom struggle.
