Explanation:
Gopal Krishna Gokhale was the political mentor of Gandhi. On Gokhale’s advice, Gandhiji spent a year travelling around British India, getting to know the land and its people.
Mahatma Gandhi’s American biographer was Louis Fischer. He wrote, “Non-cooperation became the name of an epoch in the life of India and of Gandhiji. Non-cooperation was negative enough to be peaceful but positive enough to be effective. It entailed denial, renunciation, and self-discipline. It was training for self-rule.”
Mahatma Gandhi organized the Champaran Satyagraha in order to voice against the oppressive indigo plantation system.
Gandhi launched the Ahmedabad satyagraha to support the mill workers to lead a strike against the mill owners who were not paying them wages.
