Those were Gandhiji's first experiments with satyagraha on Indian soil. Champaran was for indigo farmers, Ahmedabad for mill workers. But Kheda was for us, the peasants who refused to pay tax when the crop failed. My thatha kept the notice of demand in his tin box, next to his broken pocket watch—his quiet pride was that we held the line without violence, just a firm ‘no’.
