Answer» Solution :Mahatma Gandhi returned to India in 1915. On reaching India he observed that the condition of INDIANS has not changed much. So he decided to adopt the unique method of Satyagraha which he tried in SOUTH Africa to awaken the people. (i) In 1917, Mahatma Gandhi went to Champaran, to improve the condition of peasants. He also WANTED that the peasants should be free to cultivate the crops of their choice. (ii) In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi went to Ahmedabad and intervened in a labour DISPUTE. Here he demanded better working conditions for the MILL workers of the cotton textile mills. (iii) Again in 1918, he involved in another campaign at Kheda in Gujarat to support the cause of peasants. (iv) He sought the remission of taxes from the state as the harvest of crops had failed due to drought. These campaigns had made him a true nationalist hero.
