According to Gandhi, “Satyagraha is literally holding on to Truth, and it means therefore Truth-force.”(Bondurant, p. 16) Truth, for Gandhi, was God. ... Gandhi, in his experiments with satyagraha, both in South Africa and in India, became more and more aware of the relative character of truth as an operative principle.

Answer:
Gandhiji led the mill-workers of Ahmedabad in a strike against the mill-owners who had refused to pay them higher wages. When the workers seemed to weaken, he provided support to them by undertaking a fast (hunger strike). Afraid of the consequences, the mill-owners agreed on the fourth day of Gandhiji's fast to give a 35% increase in wages
