The Champaran peasant movement was also a part of the wider struggle for independence. When Gandhiji returned from South Africa, he made the experiment of non-cooperation in a smaller way by giving leadership to the peasant struggles in Champaran (Bihar) and later on in Kheda (Gujarat). These struggles were taken up as a reformist movement but the idea was to mobilise the peasants for their demands.
The Champaran peasant movement was launched in 1917-18. Its objective was to create awakening among the peasants against the European planters. These planters resorted to illegal and inhuman methods of indigo cultivation at a cost which by no canons of justice could be called an adequate remuneration for the labour done by the peasants.
Some of the important causes of Champaran peasant struggles were as under:
(1) In Champaran and as a matter of fact in the whole of Bihar, there was an enormous personal increase in the land rent.
(2) The peasants were obliged to grow indigo and this curtailed their freedom of cultivation.
