Mahatma Gandhi, armed with his weapons of truth, non- violence and Satyagraha, remained in print in the Indian national movement from 1919 to 1947. This period in Indian history is known as Gandhian Era. Prior to this, Gandhiji led the peasant movement in Champaran and Kheda and the workers movement in Ahmedabad and after achieving success in it made the identity of an influential leader at the national level.

Mahatma Gandhi was earlier an ally of the British Government and due to his Co-operation in the First World War, the government gave him the title of Kaiser-e-Hindi, but soon some policies of the government forced him to start the non-Co-operative movement. These policies were Rowlatt Act, Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Khilafat Problem etc. He returned the little of Kaishare. Hind in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh messacre. In 1919. Mahatma Gandhi became the President of the All India Khilafat Movement.

Under the leadership of Gandhji in 1930, the second mass movement civil disobedience movement was launched against the British colonial power. Gandhiji reached Dandi on a foot march of 250 km end started this movement by breaking the salt law there. It was not only a mass movement, women and children also participated enthusiastically in it.

On August 8, 1942, Gandhiji started the Quit India movement. In this he gave the slogan. "Do or die". A huge mass of people was spontaneous in this movement. The movement almost fixed the independence of India.

As a result of Gandhiji's continuous efforts. India finally got independence on August 15, 1947. In this way, Gandhiji took the national movement to the masses and made it a mass movement in which all sections of the society participated. In this mass movement, Gandhiji provided three weapons of truth, non-violence and Satyagraha to the people on the strength of this, he liberated India, received the honour of being called the Father of Nation.
