Question Question 3
What was the issue that led Mahatma Gandhi to start Ahmedabad Satyagraha?
Gandhiji led the mill-workers of Ahmedabad in a strike against the mill-owners who had refused to pay them higher wages. He undertook a fast in support of the workers. Afraid of the consequences, the mill-owners agreed on the fourth day of Gandhiji's fast to give a 35% wage increase.
