Ahmedabad Mill Strike

The Ahmedabad Mill Strike of 1918 was a significant labor movement in India, where thousands of workers from textile mills protested against unfair wage cuts and poor working conditions. Led by Mahatma Gandhi, the strike aimed to secure better pay and improve labor rights. It was notable for the use of nonviolent resistance and marked Gandhi's growing influence in the Indian independence movement. The strike highlighted the plight of workers and led to some concessions from mill owners, ultimately raising awareness about labor issues in colonial India and fostering a stronger sense of solidarity among workers.
