The farmers of Champaran, North Western village in Bihar , were forced to grow indigo by the European planters instead of food crops which were necessary for their survival. Indigo plantation was destroying the productivity of the land which was the main reason of the peasant’s protest.
Gandhiji chose to represent the peasants' cause and initiated the Champaran movement.
