Gandhi returned from South Africa in 1915. With the advice of his political guru Gopal Krishna Gokhale he toured entire India. Mahatma Gandhi began his experiments with Satyagraha against the oppressive European indigo planters at Champaran in Bihar in 1917. In the next year he launched another Satyagraha at
Kheda in Gujarat in support of the peasants who were not able to pay the land tax due to failure of crops. During this struggle, Sardar Vallabhai Patel emerged as one of the trusted followers of Gandhi. In 1918, Gandhi undertook a fast unto death for the cause of Ahmedabad Mill Workers and finally the mill owners conceded the just demands of the workers.
With these three movements i.e. Champaran, Kheda and Ahmedabad mill strike movements Gandhi emerged as powerful political leader.
