$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \text{Gandhi was very sad to know about the sharecroppers'} \\ \text{ situation from Rajkumar Shukla. In Champaran, the poor} \\ \text{ sharecroppers had to lead a pitiable life due to injustice of the} \\ \text{ British. The peasants were forced to plant 15 percent of their} \\ \text{ holdings with indigo plantations and give the entire indigo } \\ \text{harvest as rent. Gandhi went to Champaran to help the} \\ \text{ peasants. Being a member of the official commission formed } \\ \text{by Sir Edward Gait, Gandhi demanded the British for the } \\ \text{compensation of the sharecroppers. The landlords were at a } \\ \text{loss and they agreed to refund the peasants 25 percent as} \\ \text{ compensation.}$
