Answer 1

The Champaran Satyagraha was the first movement Gandhiji got involved.

Explanation:

• Gandhiji started the first Satyagraha movement in Champaran district of Bihar in 1917. This movement was basically against the Indigo Planters. The European Indigo planters forced the Indian farmers to grow indigo on their land without any payment.Indigo was used to dye cloth.
• This was the first movement started by Gandhiji against the injustice to the farmers.

It was then that the Champaran Agrarian Act was passed in March 1918 and gave relief to the farmers. It also motivated Gandhiji to launch movements against the Exploitation of the British government.
