Solution

1. Soon after coming to India, Gandhi organized Satyagraha movements in many parts of teh country.
2. In 1916, he went to Champaran in Bihar to inspire the peasants to struggle against the
oppressive plantation system, followed by organising a satyagraha to support the peasants of the Kheda district of Gujarat in 1917. The peasants there, so affected by a crop failure and a plague epidemic, couldn't pay the revenue and thus demanded that the revenue collection ought be relaxed.
3. In 1918, Gandhi went to Ahmedabad, where he organized a satyagraha movement amongst cotton mill workers.
