First of all, as a migrant lawyer, Gandhiji started a satyagraha in South Africa to fight for the civil rights of the people of the Indian community. He returned to India in 1915. [21] He then united the farmers, laborers and urban laborers here to raise their voice against excessive land tax and discrimination. After taking over the reins of the Indian National Congress in 1921, he organized several programs throughout the country to protest against untouchability for relief of poverty, expansion of women's rights, creation of religious and ethnic unity and self-reliance. In all of these, the program of achieving Swaraj was the salvation of foreign rule. Gandhiji gained considerable fame in 1930 against the Salt Satyagraha in protest of the salt tax imposed on Indians by the British Government and after this in 1942, the British Quit India Movement. South Africa and India on various occasions had to spend several years in jail.

Struggle for Indian freedom struggle (1914-1945)👇👇👇👇
( Champaran and kheda)
Gandhi's first major achievement was in 1914 in the Champaran Satyagraha and the Kheda Satyagraha, although the movements of indigo cash-paying food crops were also important, rather than the food crops needed for his subsistence. The oppressed Indians were given a nominal compensation allowance by the power of the zamindars (most of the British), which surrounded them in extreme poverty. Villages badly dirty and unhygienic; And was bound by liquor, untouchability and veils. Now the British imposed oppressive taxes to compensate for the imperial treasury due to a devastating famine, whose burden increased day by day. This situation was disappointing. Kheda (Kheda), Gujarat had the same problem. Gandhiji built an ashram there where many of his supporters and new voluntary workers were organized. He made a detailed study and survey of the villages, keeping an account of the terrible incidents of atrocities on animals and also included the unproductive normal condition of the people. Creating confidence in the villagers, he started his work by cleaning the villages under which schools and hospitals were built and the rural leadership was motivated to eliminate many of the social evils mentioned above.
But its major effects were seen when he was arrested by the police for creating unrest and he was ordered to leave the province. Thousands of people protested and took out rallies outside jails, police stations and courts and demanded Gandhi ji to be released unconditionally. Gandhiji led the protests and strikes against the landlords who, under the guidance of the British Government, signed an agreement granting more compensation to the poor farmers of that region and control over farming, canceling the increase in revenue and storing it. Done. It was during this struggle that Gandhiji was addressed by the public as Bapu's father and Mahatma (great soul). In Kheda, Sardar Patel led the peasants for discussions with the British, in which the British were released from revenue collection and all the prisoners were released. As a result, Gandhi's fame spread across the country.
