Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from South Africa in January 1915. After spending a year travelling across India and observing the situation, his first major public speech was delivered at the opening ceremony of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on February 4, 1916.

The BHU speech in 1916 marked Gandhi’s first significant public address in India after his return, where he spoke about the need for Indian nationalism, poverty, and sanitation, among other topics.

Champaran in 1917 was the location of Gandhi’s first Satyagraha movement in India. Lucknow in 1916 refers to the Lucknow Session of the Indian National Congress, which Gandhi attended but his major public speech predates this. Ahmedabad in 1918 was the site of the Ahmedabad Mill Strike, one of his early campaigns.
