Mahatma Gandhi first started his Satyagraha in India at Champaran. Satyagraha, meaning "truth-force" or "soul-force," was a nonviolent resistance movement against British rule in India. In 1917, Gandhi was invited by the farmers in Champaran, Bihar, to help them with their grievances against British indigo planters. He organized protests, strikes, and peaceful demonstrations, demanding justice for the farmers who were forced to grow indigo and were treated unfairly. This marked the beginning of Gandhi's successful nonviolent resistance movement, which later became a significant tool in India's struggle for independence.Rate this question:
