Hey mate, this is your answer.
Explanation:
In 1917, Gandhiji led a successful satyagraha campaign fighting for the rights of the indigo planters at Champaran. Champaran was a turning point in India's freedom struggle. For the first time with peaceful means, Gandhiji declared that the British could not order me about in my own country'. Simultaneously, he tapped the power of the present masses and awoke their spirit of dignity and self-reliance.
In 1918, Gandhiji fought for the rights of the textile mill workers of Ahmedabad. Here for the first time he introduced a method of arbitration - fasting. Gandhiji felt this method eliminated violence and the compulsion which may present even peaceful struggles. `I fasted to reform those who love,' stated Gandhiji. After considerable arbitration and negotiations, the mill owners agreed to the demands.
In March 1918, Gandhiji led a satyagraha for a peasants of Kheda. While in April, he appealed for a nationwide hartal protecting the enactment of the barbarous Rowlatt Act. However violence broke out and for the first time Gandhiji had to suspend the satyagraha calling it a Himalayan miscalculation. Gandhiji realised that a peaceful agitation could only be led by trained satyagrahis (non-violent soldiers).
