Hey mate here is your answer :

I) Indigo Commission was formed following the movement of the raiyats of Bengal against the European indigo planters in the late 1850s. ... The planters, when they got the right to own land, used the right to force the raiyats to cultivate indigo, and threatened to enhance rent unless raiyats increased its production

II) Gandhi

Gandhi decided that his project would be a very detailed study and survey of the 2,841 villages in Champaran, to investigate the conditions of the peasants and to know the truths and facts

III) The Indigo Commission's report, for the first time, confirmed that the indigo cultivation was associated with various kinds of repression. It revealed how the planters forced the raiyats to receive loan and sign contracts for the indigo cultivation.

Hope it helps you ☺
