Detailed Solution

Gandhiji developed his method of Satyagraha in South Africa.
The ancient Indian concept of ahimsa, which the Jains upheld with great rigour, is one of the inspirations for Satyagraha. Gandhi also drew inspiration from the works of Leo Tolstoy, Henry David Thoreau, the Bible, and the Bhagavadgita. Thus he tried to modernise the notion of ahimsa and transform it into Satyagraha, which has extensive political ramifications. When the British colonial authority of the Transvaal in South Africa approved a law that discriminated against Asians, Gandhi first had the idea of Satyagraha. In 1917, the Champaran district, which produced indigo, hosted the first Satyagraha campaign in India.
