While Mahatma Gandhi had developed the technique of Satyagraha in South Africa, his first major application of it in India after his return in 1915 was the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917. He championed the cause of the indigo cultivators against the oppressive practices of the British planters.

– Satyagraha was first developed by Gandhi in South Africa.
– Champaran Satyagraha in 1917 was his first major use of Satyagraha in India.
