Protest against British Rule in India:

Even before Mahatma Gandhi returned to India, many leaders in the country raised the flag of protest against the British. When Gandhiji returned to India in 1915, he felt a lot of trouble seeing the helplessness of the people of the country under the British Rule. The British were also very cruel to the farmers.

He first forced farmers to grow indigo and other cash crops on their fertile land and then sold the crops at a much cheaper price. Farmers already suffering from poverty due to bad weather and high taxes, got into trouble.

During this time, Gandhiji came to know about the pathetic condition of farmers in Champaran, Bihar. He decided to visit the district in April 1917. He adopted the view of the Civil Disobedience Movement, raising his voice in support of the farmers and started demonstrations against the British.
