Question

Member of champaran agrarian enquiry committee

Answer 1

In the second week of June 1917, the Bihar government appointed a Champaran Agrarian Enquiry Committee.

It had seven members, including four ICS men as well as Mahatma Gandhi.

The chairman was an official from the Central Provinces. Gandhiji was born in an affluent family and spent most of his years overseas.

Through these committee meetings, Gandhi deepened his knowledge of the colonial State, of which he had, in 1917, an extremely imperfect understanding.
