Answers
Gandhi ji delayed the help of Rajkumari Shukla because he wanted to help the peasants on his own and inspire courage or resilience in them.
Explanation:
- This episode proved to be a turning point in Gandhi ji's life. He realized the power of civil disobedience. Also, this incident made him closer to the people altogether. It laid the foundation of the Indian movement.
- The peasants or farmers thought of him as one of their own.
- The people of Champaran were exploited at the hands of their British lords.
Gandhiji delayed Rajkumar Shukla for helping him on the Champaran issue because Gandhiji was very busy at that time. He had to go to several parts of India and he had several engagements.
But Rajkumar Shukla followed Gandhiji wherever he went. Impressed by Shukla's tenacity, Gandhiji asked him to meet him in Calcutta. From there, they went to Champaran. Shukla wanted Gandhiji to see the miserable plight of the sharecroppers of Champaran.
