    Mahatma Gandhi launched the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917 in response to the suffering of farmers in Champaran, Bihar, who were forced by British planters to grow indigo and were underpaid. Inspired by Rajkumar Shukla, a local farmer, Gandhi visited Champaran against the orders of the district magistrate. Though summoned to court, Gandhi refused to leave until the farmers' grievances were addressed. He investigated their plight and educated the farmers. Ultimately, the government was compelled to set up a committee to investigate the issues, marking a victory for nonviolent civil disobedience.

    WHAT IS A SATYAGRAHA ?
     Satyagraha, (Sanskrit and Hindi: “holding onto truth”) 
    concept introduced in the early 20th century by 
    Mahatma Gandhi to designate a determined but
    nonviolent resistance to evil.
     According to this philosophy, satyagrahis—
    practitioners of satyagraha —achieve correct insight
    into the real nature of an evil situation by observing a
    nonviolence of the mind, by seeking truth in a spirit of
    peace and love, and by undergoing a rigorous process
    of self-scrutiny. In so doing, the satyagrahi encounters
    truth in the absolute. By refusing to submit to the
    wrong or to cooperate with it in any way,
    the satyagrahi asserts that truth.
    CHAMPARAN SATYAGRAHA (1917)

    Champaran Satyagraha was nothing


    but just a small step against the
    imperialistic power of the Great
    Britain, victory of farmers in
    Champaran clearly depicts the value of
    Satyagraha and forms the foundations
    for India’s peaceful war against
    colonialism.
    RAJKUMAR SHUKLA
    ‘The Resolute Peasant’
     In the Champaran, the cultivators were forced by Europeans
    to grow indigo, and this imposed on them untold sufferings.
    They could not grow the food they needed, nor did they
    receive adequate payment for the indigo.
     Gandhi was unaware of this until an agriculturist from
    Bihar, Rajkumar Shukla, met him and told him of the woes
    of the people of Champaran. He requested Gandhi to go to
    the place and see for himself the state of affairs there.
    Rajkumar Shukla followed him about, begging him to come
    and help the suffering villagers in Champaran. Gandhi at
    last promised to visit the place after he had visited Calcutta.
    When Gandhi was in Calcutta, Rajkumar was there too, to
    take him to Bihar.
    STORY OF CHAMPARAN
     Gandhi went to Champaran with in 1917. On his arrival the District Magistrate served him with a
    notice saying that he was not to remain in the district of Champaran but must leave the place by the
    first available train. Gandhi disobeyed this order. He was summoned to appear before the court.
     The magistrate said, 'If you leave the district now and promise not to return, the case against you will
    be withdrawn.'
     'This cannot be.' replied Gandhi. 'I came here to render humanitarian and national service. I shall
    make Champaran my home and work for the suffering people .A large crowd of peasants was outside
    the court shouting slogans. The magistrate and the police looked nervous.
     Gandhi appeared before the crowd and said, 'You must show your faith in me and in my work by
    remaining quiet. The magistrate had the right to arrest me, because I disobeyed his order. If I am sent
    to jail, you must accept that as just. We must work peacefully. And violent act will harm out cause.'
     The crowd dispersed peacefully. The police stared at Gandhi in admiration as he went inside the
    court.
    STORY OF CHAMPARAN
     The Government withdrew the case against Gandhi and allowed him to remain
    in the district. Gandhi stayed there to study the grievances of the peasants.
     He visited many villages. He cross-examined about 8,000 cultivators and
    recorded their statements. In this way he arrived at an exact understanding of
    their grievance and the causes underlying them.
     He came to the conclusion that the ignorance of the cultivators was one of the
    main reasons why it was possible for the European planters to repress them.
    Gandhi therefore set up voluntary organizations to improve the economic and
    educational conditions of the people. They opened schools and also taught the
    people how to improve sanitation.
     The government realized Gandhi's strength and his devotion to causes. They
    themselves then set upon a committee to enquire into the grievances of the
    Self-reliance– The Making of a free
    Indian
     In all the things the Gandhi did, he tried to mould a new
    free Indian, who could stand on his own feet and thus
    make India free.
     Charles Freer Andrews, an English pacifist, who had
    become a devoted follower of Gandhi, came to bid him
    goodbye. Gandhi’s lawyer friends wanted Andrew to help
    them. Gandhi strongly opposed the suggestion.
     According to him, asking for Andrews’ help was showing
    weakness of their hearts. He assured them the cause was
    just and they must rely upon themselves to win the battle.
