Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi has taught the whole world that no fight can be fought without violence. Mahatma Gandhi was a major political and spiritual leader of the Indian independence movement. Mahatma Gandhi always used to say that if one slaps one slap, he should give it another cheek. Because the person in front of your humility will surely melt on one or the other day. On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, today we tell you about some of the important agitations launched by him.

1. Champaran and Kheda Satyagraha:

Many programs were run under the leadership of Gandhi Ji under the Satyagraha movement. Among them are the Champaran Satyagraha, Bardoli Satyagrahaa and Kheda Satyagraha. All these movements reflect Mahatma Gandhi's contribution towards India's independence. Gandhiji had said that this is a movement that is completely upright and violence has no place in it.

On April 15, 1917, a man named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, with an anonymous man like Rajkumar Shukla, reached Champaran, Motihari. They were appointed at the house of Babu Gorakh Prasad. Champaran is located in the north-west of Bihar where the foundation of Satyagraha was laid. In the name of indigenous cultivation, the Satyagraha movement was run in 1917 under the leadership of Gandhi, against the exploitation of farmers by the British rule. It is a privilege to have the Champaran district in Bihar that after returning from South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi started the Satyagraha movement from here. Gandhiji also got success in the Champaran Satyagraha.

Kheda Satyagraha

Kheda Satyagraha was a Satyagraha (movement) against the tax administration of the British government in Kheda district of Gujarat. It was led by Vallabh Bhai Patel and other leaders with the inspiration of Mahatma Gandhi. As a result of this satyagraha, there was a new sharpness and enthusiasm in the life of Gujarat and a confidence level of space. Although this satyagraha was simple but its significance in the history of Indian consciousness is not less than the satyagraha of Champaran.

This movement was launched by the Indian National Congress. 1929 AD Until India began to know Britain's intentions, then India was suspicious whether or not it will implement its declaration of providing colonial independence. It was announced that its aim at the Lahore session was to achieve total independence for India. Under this movement, salt was made by itself in violation of the salt law.

3. Quit India Movement

It was a big 'civil disobedience movement' against Mahatma Gandhi's British rule to get the freedom to India soon. After the failure of 'Cripps Mission', Gandhi decided to start another big movement. This movement was given the name of 'Quit India Movement'.
