Places with descriptions where Mahatma Gandhi organised satyagraha:

Dandi: The Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, took place in 1930. It was a significant event in the Indian independence movement.

Mahatma Gandhi organized the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917 in order to voice against the oppressive indigo plantation system. At the annual Congress, held in Lucknow in December 1916, Mahatma Gandhi was approached by a peasant from Champaran in Bihar, who told him about the harsh treatment of peasants by British indigo planters.  Mahatma Gandhi was to spend much of 1917 in Champaran, seeking to obtain the peasant's security of tenure as well as the freedom to cultivate the crops of their choice.

Mahatma Gandhi joined peasants in Kheda in asking the state for the remission of taxes following the failure of their harvest. These initiatives in Champaran, Ahmedabad and Kheda marked Gandhiji out as a nationalist with a deep sympathy for the poor.

Gandhi launched the Ahmedabad satyagraha to support the mill workers to lead a strike against the mill owners who were not paying them wages.
