Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi's first fast was in 1918 during the Ahmedabad mill workers' strike. He fasted to support the demands of textile workers for higher wages, and this marked his first use of fasting as a political tool. The fast lasted 3 days and resulted in the workers receiving a 35% wage increase. This established fasting as a key technique in his satyagraha arsenal, which he later used for broader political causes.
