Detailed Explanation
The 'Kheda Satyagraha' was a protest led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1918 in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The reason for this satyagraha was to demand the remission of taxes following the failure of the harvest. In this region, the peasants were facing a crop failure due to floods and famine, and the British colonial government insisted on collecting land revenue despite the hardships faced by the local farmers. Gandhi and the Indian National Congress led the nonviolent protest to seek relief for the suffering farmers.
