Gandhi's first name was:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Gandhi led organized protests and strikes against the landlords, who with the guidance of the British government, signed an agreement granting more compensation and control over farming for the poor farmers of the region, and cancellation of revenue hikes and collection until the famine ended. It was during this agitation, that Gandhi was addressed by the people as Bapu (Father) and Mahatma (Great Soul). In Kheda, Patel represented the farmers in negotiations with the British, who suspended revenue collection and granted relief. All of the prisoners were released. Gandhi's resulting fame spread all over the nation.

He turned right into a important political and non secular chief of India and the Indian independence stream. He became the pioneer of Satyagraha—resistance to tyranny by mass civil disobedience, firmly depending upon ahimsa or entire non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired moves for civil rights and freedom the international over.
