Why did Gandhiji launch Satyagraha at Ahmedabad in 1918?
थोडक्यात उत्तर
उत्तर
Gandhiji launched the Ahmedabad Satyagraha in 1918 to support the mill workers of Ahmedabad, who were facing a dispute with the mill owners over low wages. The workers demanded a 35% wage hike due to rising prices, but the mill owners were unwilling to meet their demands. Gandhiji took up the cause of the workers and started the Satyagraha to fight for their rights peacefully. Afraid of the consequences, the mill owner agreed to give a 35% increase in wages.
