Characterstics of champaran movement
Answers
Answer:
The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was the first Satyagraha movement inspired by Gandhi and a major revolt in the Indian Independence Movement. It was a farmer's uprising that took place in Champaran district of Bihar, India during the British colonial period.
Answer:
Gandhiji's first great experiment in Satyagragha was accomplished in 1917 in champaran, bihar. The indigo cultivators of champaran were greatly exploited by European planters. They were bound to grow indigo on 3/20th of their land and sell it to the British planters at prices fixed by them. They invited Gandhiji to take up their cause but the district authorities banned his entry to the district. He offered satyagragha as a result of which an enquiry was conducted into the conditions of the peasants. This helped in giving the indigo cultivators some relief.
