In 1917, which movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi from Champaran?
Satyagraha
In 1917, Mahatma Gandhi launched the Champaran Satyagraha in Bihar to support indigo cultivators oppressed by the British tinkathia system, under which peasants were forced to grow indigo on 3/20th of their land on unfair terms. It was Gandhi's first application of Satyagraha (truth-force, non-violent resistance) on Indian soil.
The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920), Quit India Movement (1942) and Swadeshi Movement (1905, post-Bengal Partition) all came later and from different locations.
