What was the attitude of the average Indian in smaller localities towards advocates of home rule?
At that time the common man was afraid to raise his voice against the policies of the government. There was a severe lack of solidarity among masses. Nor did they support those from the public who stood against the government. No matter if it’s a non-violent way or a revolutionary way. A similar thiRead more
At that time the common man was afraid to raise his voice against the policies of the government. There was a severe lack of solidarity among masses. Nor did they support those from the public who stood against the government. No matter if it’s a non-violent way or a revolutionary way. A similar thing comes to us when the author has mentioned in his book “The Life of Mahatma Gandhi” part of which is also in the story “Indigo”. However Professor Malkani showed courage and gave shelter to Gandhi on the issue of Champaran when it was at its peak.

How was Gandhi able to influence lawyers? Give instances.
Gandhi expected to go to jail because he had disobeyed the order of the messenger of the police superintendent. He asked the lawyers whether they would be able to carry forward this fight in his absence, on which no one had agreed initially. But then they felt that when someone from outside can fighRead more
Gandhi expected to go to jail because he had disobeyed the order of the messenger of the police superintendent. He asked the lawyers whether they would be able to carry forward this fight in his absence, on which no one had agreed initially. But then they felt that when someone from outside can fight for the rights of the poor and go to jail. So it will be a matter of shame for them if they are not able to pursue this case because they were from nearby districts and till now were claiming services to local farmers.

Why do you think Gandhi considered the Champaran episode to be a turning- point in his life?
Mahatma Gandhi's coming into the serious issue of Champaran was not part of planning. When he met Raj Kumar Shukla, he did not know anything about Champaran. But since Gandhi was an advocate by profession, it was his habit to get into the core of the matter. And he got all the information from diffeRead more
Mahatma Gandhi’s coming into the serious issue of Champaran was not part of planning. When he met Raj Kumar Shukla, he did not know anything about Champaran. But since Gandhi was an advocate by profession, it was his habit to get into the core of the matter. And he got all the information from different sources. He found that injustice was being done to the weaker section and he took recourse to the law for this and brought the British government on its knees and forced it to compromise. Gandhi felt this victory as a victory for the poor farmers apart from personally and hence he called it the turning point of his life. Because by learning from this, he wanted to make his further plans successful.

Why did Gandhi agree to a settlement of 25 per cent refund to the farmers?
It was not important for Gandhi what percentage of the English government was refunding because the people of Champaran had got freedom from the rent forever and that too in writing. The British admitting their mistake in an official inquiry and coming to the table for a refund settlement was theirRead more
It was not important for Gandhi what percentage of the English government was refunding because the people of Champaran had got freedom from the rent forever and that too in writing. The British admitting their mistake in an official inquiry and coming to the table for a refund settlement was their biggest defeat. Gandhi felt no matter what the percentage of refund is today but the method adopted for the coming future and for independence was going to be very useful in the future. This movement will lay the foundation for the coming victory.
