  1. Gandhi’s Satyagraha was both a moral and political challenge to British rule.

    • Champaran (1917): Exposed indigo planters’ exploitation.
    • Kheda (1918): Demanded tax remission during crop failure.
    • Ahmedabad (1918): Fought for mill workers’ rights.
      Through peaceful protest and moral force, Satyagraha united Indians, questioned colonial injustice, and highlighted the power of truth and non-violence over oppression.
