Consider the following:

1. Rowlatt Act movement

2. Kheda movement

3. Champaran

4. Ahmedabad mill strike

What is the correct chronological order of the above-mentioned Gandhian movements?

Solution

• On 6 April 1919, Mahatma Gandhi started a non-violent Satyagraha against the unjust Rowla Act passed by the British government. • The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was the first satyagraha movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in British India. • Kheda Satyagraha of March, 1918 is known to be the first non-cooperation movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. This satyagraha was centred on the peasant-Patidar community of Kheda, who refused to agree to a 23 percent tax hike imposed on them despite a disastrous crop failure and outbreak of plague and cholera. • Ahmedabad Mill Strike of 1918 is considered the first hunger strike led by Gandhi. In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi intervened in a dispute between Ahmedabad workers and mill owners.   - In March 1918, Gandhi intervened in a dispute between Ahmedabad coon mill owners and workers over the cessation of the plague bonus. So the correct sequence is: Champaran movement, Kheda Satyagraha, Ahmedabad mill strike, Rowlatt Act.
