After returning from South Africa, Gandhiji launched his first successful Satyagraha in
- AChauri-Chaura
- BDandi
- CChamparanCorrect
- DBardoli
Explanation
The correct answer is Champaran because it was Gandhijis first active involvement in Indian politics after returning from South Africa in 1915. In 1917, he went to the Champaran district of Bihar to protest against the Tinkathia system, which forced peasants to grow indigo on a portion of their land. This movement marked his first successful application of Satyagraha in India, as the government eventually abolished the exploitative system and offered compensation to the farmers. Other options like Dandi and Chauri Chaura occurred much later in his career.
