It was the time when his journey started to become a <strong>Mahatma<\/strong>. Being related to an affluent family, he never got the slightest idea about the plight and the ongoing exploitation of Indians by the British regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when he got the reality check, he decided to uproot the rule of the British crown from India, not by weapons but with his non-violent movements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Champaran_Satyagraha1917\"><\/span><strong>1) Champaran Satyagraha(1917)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first civil disobedience movement against the Britishwas to save the indigo farmers from exploitation. The campaign conducted by Mahatma Gandhi was quite a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ahmedabad_Mill_Strike_1918\"><\/span><strong>2) Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mahatma Gandhi went for the first hunger strike against the Ahmedabad mill owners, who did not agree with a 35% wage increase for the workers. But after the ongoing pressure, they agreed to the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Rowlatt_Satyagraha_1919\"><\/span><strong>3) The Rowlatt Satyagraha (1919)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The act was passed by the British parliament to arrest and detain any individual without a trial if they are suspected of sedition.
