Peasant activists were often outside Gandhi's control; and this threat to cohesion and discipline made him very ambivalent towards wide rural participation.

Answer:
The peasant and Gandhiji are contradictory.
Explanation:
- As the news of Gandhi's arrival and the nature of his mission spread, peasants began arriving on foot and by transport to get a glimpse of their champions.
- A lawyer who represented the peasant group in court also came to teach Gandhi.
- Gandhiji supported the planters.
- In Champaran, British landowners forced all peasants to plant indigo on 15% of their property and then lease the entire crop.
- This added to the misery of poor tenants.
- However, when synthetic indigo was developed and the indigo plantations became unprofitable, landowners obtained a new agreement from the peasants to pay compensation for being exempt from the 15% agreement.
- Gandhi came at that time and forced the landlord to return 25 percent of the compensation to the peasants through nonviolent civil disobedience.
Hence, the peasants started listening to Gandhiji and this is how the Non Cooperation Movement got started.
