Champaran Satyagraha: Britishers had been forcing native farmers in Champaran district of Bihar to cultivate indigo. Gandhi stood with the farmers and this protest was known as the first satyagraha movement. The movement resulted in a sound success.

Kheda Satyagraha: Bombay presidency levied higher taxes on land. Farmer community from Kheda protested over this hike, and they got support from Gandhi. Finally, the British government gave in to the demands of people.

Ahemdabad Mill worker Satyagraha: In another incident, mill workers in Ahmedabad demanded a hike in wage and bonuses, Gandhi helped the workers and the owners come to common terms.

Above these examples clearly show the productivity of Satyagraha philosophy which Gandhi developed in South Africa and popularized in India.
