Explanation:

Gandhiji organised Satyagraha in 1917 in Kheda district of Gujarat to protest against the high revenue demand imposed by the British government. The following points explain the reason behind the Satyagraha in detail.

Background:
Kheda district of Gujarat was facing a severe drought in 1917, which had led to crop failure and famine. The British government, however, continued to demand revenue from the farmers despite their inability to pay due to the drought. The farmers had requested the government to waive off the taxes, but their requests were not considered.

Reasons behind Satyagraha:

1. High Revenue Demand:
The British government had imposed high revenue demand on the farmers of Kheda district, irrespective of the drought situation. This demand was causing immense financial burden on the farmers, and they were unable to pay it. Therefore, Gandhiji organised Satyagraha to protest against this unjust demand.

2. Non-Violent Protest:
Gandhiji believed in non-violent protest as a means of achieving freedom and justice. Satyagraha was a non-violent protest that aimed to gain the attention of the British government towards the plight of the farmers in Kheda.

3. Unity among Farmers:
The Satyagraha movement brought together farmers of different castes and religions, and they united in their struggle against the British government. This unity among the farmers was essential to challenge the British government's oppressive policies.

4. Political Pressure:
The Satyagraha movement in Kheda gained political support from various leaders of the Indian National Congress. This political pressure helped in bringing the farmers' issue to the forefront and made the British government rethink its policies.

Conclusion:
Gandhiji's Satyagraha movement in Kheda was successful in forcing the British government to reconsider its revenue policies. The government eventually waived off the taxes for the farmers of Kheda district, and this victory became a significant milestone in India's freedom struggle.
