Question

role of gandhiji in indian freedom struggle with special reference to champaran (indigo issue) conclusion

Answer 1

Answer:

Gandhiji returned to India in January 1915 after gaining experience in South Africa with his agitational/ protest methods. After coming to India, he decided to travel India and not to take any position on any political matter for at least one year.

In 1917 Gandhiji was requested to look into the problems of the farmers in context of indigo planters of Champaran in Bihar.

The European planters had been forcing the peasants to grow indigo on 3/20 part of the total land (called tinkathia system).
