Undoubtedly, Gandhi Ji was a great leader. He never undertook any task that he could not accomplish. Once he undertook it, he persevered until he completed it. The Champaran episode proves this fact. It also brought to light the following qualities about the Mahatma:
Firstly, he did not commit to Raj Kumar Shukla anything until he was free.
Secondly, he had just gone to Champaran for a few days, but he spent seven months there until he had completed the task successfully.
Thirdly, he was ready to take any risk to accomplish the task. For example, he was threatened by the bully English officials; he was summoned to court; he also had the risk of being arrested and imprisoned; however, he did not fear. He just did what was right.
Fourthly, he was a thorough man; he collected all the evidence first before launching a campaign against the injustice of the English landlords.
Fifthly, he believed in self-reliance. There were many reputed and influential English men and women who could have helped Gandhi in the Champaran episode, but her never took their help.
Finally, during his stay at Chamapran, he noticed the poverty and backwardness of the people there; he arranged many schools and dispensaries for them. He appealed to his disciples to offer their services for the betterment and welfare of the people. All the above mentioned facts show he was a great leader indeed.

Gandhiji’s sense of leadership can be seen from the way he dealt with the Champaran episode. In Champaran, he encountered a group of peasants who was under suppression by the British for a long time. Because of this, he knew very well that no form of satyagraha would work there. So, Gandhiji merely said that he had come to collect information and study the conditions of the people in Champaran. To help him with this task, he selected a group of daunting people with whom he moved among the peasants and understand their grievances.
This did not go well with the British and they ordered Gandhiji to leave the district. Although he pleaded guilty, he stood by the peasants. Also, a large group of peasants appeared in court to support him. Finally, a committee was formed to look into their grievances with Gandhiji as one of the core members. Thus, he stopped his campaign. However, he worked in full earnest and took the leadership responsibility by attending all the committee meetings where he took up all issues of the peasants and got them sorted out.
