Read the text given below and answer the following questions.
Mahatma Gandhi returned to India in January 1915. As you know, he had come from
South Africa where he had successfully fought the racist regime with a novel method of
mass agitation, which he called Satyagraha. The idea of Satyagraha emphasised the
power of truth and the need to search for truth. It suggested that if the cause was true, if
struggle was against injustice, then physical force was not required to fight the
oppressor.
Without seeking vengeance or being aggressive, a Satyagraha could win the battle
through non-violence. This could be done by appealing to the conscience of the
oppressor. People including the oppressor- had to be persuading to see the truth
through the use of violence. By this struggle, truth was bound to ultimately triumph.
Mahatma Gandhi believed that this dharma of non- violence could unite all Indians.
After arriving in India, Mahatma Gandhi successfully organised Satyagraha movements
in various places. In 1916, he travelled to Champaran in Bihar to inspire the peasants to
struggle against an oppressive plantation system. Then in 1917, he organised a
Satyagraha to support the peasants of the Kheda District of Gujarat. Affected by the
crop failure and a plague epidemic, the peasants of Kheda could not pay the revenue,
and were demanding that revenue collection be relaxed. In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi
went to Ahmedabad to organise a Satyagraha movement amongst cotton mill workers.
