Two successful Satyagraha movements led by Mahatma Gandhi in favor of peasants were the
Champaran Satyagraha (1917) and the Kheda Satyagraha (1918).

29)

The Rowlatt Act, officially known as the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919,
was a law passed by the British colonial government in India that severely restricted civil
liberties. It allowed for the arrest and detention of individuals suspected of sedition or
revolutionary activities without trial, and also curtailed press freedom and the right to legal
representation.

30)
 a. Chauri Chaura: The Non-Cooperation Movement was called off due to the violent incident at
Chauri Chaura, where protestors clashed with the police.
b. Champaran: This is where the Indigo peasants movement took place during the British
period. Gandhiji first led a Satyagraha there in support of the peasants against the oppressive
indigo plantation system.
c. Ahmedabad: This is where Gandhiji started his first Satyagraha movement in support of
cotton mill workers.

31) Gandhiji launched the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930 to challenge British rule in
India, primarily due to the British government's refusal to grant India dominion status and its
oppressive salt tax. The movement involved mass participation, nonviolent resistance, and
focused on boycotting British goods, refusing to pay taxes, and defying unjust laws,
particularly the salt law.

32) Alluri Sitarama Raju was an Indian revolutionary who led the Rampa Rebellion in the
Visakhapatnam and Godavari regions of Andhra Pradesh against the British during the
1920s. While inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement and advocating for
the use of khadi and the boycott of alcohol, Raju ultimately believed that India's freedom could
only be achieved through armed resistance. He led a rebellion that included attacks on police
stations and British officials, employing guerrilla warfare tactics.
