PATNA/ MOTIHARI: “It was
Champaran
that introduced me to India,”
Mahatma Gandhi
wrote in one of his letters to his disciple Mirabehn in 1921.
After making waves in South Africa,
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
, the barrister-turned-civil rights activist returned to India on January 9, 1915 at the request of Gopal Krishna Gokhale and within two years of his arrival in the country, he was in Bihar leading the movement against atrocities on indigo farmers in the state.
While Champaran “introduced” India to Gandhi, he introduced his idea of Satyagraha or civil disobedience to India in Champaran, where he first experimented with his novel method of protest in support of the indigo farmers, which came to be known as the
Champaran Satyagraha
.
Gandhi was persuaded to visit Champaran primarily at the initiative of a semi-literate indigo farmer Pandit Rajkumar Shukla.
