In 1915, Gandhiji returned to India permanently and joined the Indian National Congress with Gopal Krishna Gokhale as his mentor. Gandhi's first major achievement was in 1918 when he led the Champaran and Kheda agitations of Bihar and Gujarat.

to proceed to South Africa on their behalf to instruct their counsel in a lawsuit. At the end of 3 days both the parties agreed on arbitration.

In 1906, Gandhiji took a vow of absolute continence. In South Africa, Mohandas tasted bitter experience of racial discrimination during his journey from Durban to Pretoria, where his presence was required in connection with a lawsuit. He united the Indians settled in South Africa of different communities, languages and religions, and founded Natal Indian Congress in 1893.

He was influenced by the idea of Satyagraha which is a devotion to truth and in 1906 implemented a non-violent protest. Gandhiji was also influenced by this ancient book. No doubt, he also improved the lives of India's poor people. He devoted himself to the propagation of Hindu-Muslim unity, removal of untouchablity, equality of women and men, and khadi.
