The three local issues were Champaran satyagraha ; Kheda satyagraha and Ahmedabad satyagraha.

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
