Gandhiji was hurt by the racial injustice and discrimination to which Indians had to submit in South Africa. He started his non-violent civil disobedience movement to protest against the discriminating treatment meted out to Indians. Thus, it was during this struggle that Mahatma Gandhi evolved the technique of satyagraha (non-violent resistance) based on truth and non-violence.

Due to constant famines, the crops had failed in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The British government had compelled the peasants to pay land revenue. The local peasants, therefore, started a no- tax movement in Kheda district in 1918 which was led by Gandhiji.

Kheda is a district in the state of Gujarat. Farmers here faced a terrible famine. After this British conducted a land survey and compelled the peasants to pay land revenue. They, therefore, started a no- tax movement in Kheda district in 1918. Gandhiji organised the peasants to offer satyagraha. The peasants refused to pay land revenue and ultimately the government was forced to arrive at a settlement with the peasants.
