Explanation:
These movements were essentially non violent in nature. Satyagraha (fast unto death) was the defining feature of these moments to build moral pressure on britishers to accept their demands.
Champaran Satyagraha: In Champaran, the peasants were agitating against the planters who were forcing the peasants to grow indigo under the exploitative tinkathia system. This system forced cultivation of indigo in 3/20th of land held by the peasant.
One of their leaders, Raj Kumar Sukul invited Gandhi to resolve the issue.
Gandhi led the movement by launching satyagraha and mobilised the peasantry in the area defying the British authority.
This satyagraha brought the tinkathia system to an end and helped in determining the rent payable by the peasants to the planters.
