Ordinary people have contributed a lot in India’s freedom and its fight. Unfortunately our present generation only knows the names of big people. One such firm and determined person was Raj Kumar Shukla who not only recorded his name but also Champaran’s name in the history. In supporting his courage and resolve, his villagers supported him. Thousands of sharecroppers had gathered on foot and by bullock cart when Gandhi took over the work of Champaran. When Gandhi was in trouble with the notice issued by authorities, huge gathering was seen outside courthouse which was indeed difficult for the officials to handle. Ordinary man made a significant contribution to the freedom movement just by supporting such movements.
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.
Gandhi expected to go to jail because he had disobeyed the order of the messenger of the police superintendent.

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.
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.

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.

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.

In the freedom struggle, there are many such tales which are related to Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violence method. Such is the story of the Quit India Movement, which started from the Govalia Tank Maidan in Bombay in August 1942.Gandhi set the best example of his leadership skills when he delivered a very impressive speech to the people from that ground to do or die. It was a completely non-violent fight and was very similar to the battle of Champaran.
India was a colony of Britain and the ruling party was British. Their every order had to be obeyed by the Indians. They ordered the farmers of Champaran would cultivate indigo on 15% of their land and would give the money that came from it to the government as “rent”. Now Germany had started produciRead more
India was a colony of Britain and the ruling party was British. Their every order had to be obeyed by the Indians. They ordered the farmers of Champaran would cultivate indigo on 15% of their land and would give the money that came from it to the government as “rent”. Now Germany had started producing synthetic indigo, after which there was no need for natural indigo. When the British government stopped selling natural indigo and collecting rent, they asked for compensation from the farmers. With the advent of synthetic indigo, the work of natural indigo must have been greatly affected. Sharp decline must have come in the prices of natural one because when competition arises, prices fall.
Gandhi’s schedule was extremely busy with meetings and visits at many parts of villages and towns. Before visiting Champaran, Gandhi visited Kanpur (formerly known as Cawnpore) and then other parts of India. Then he returned to his ashram in Ahmedabad.
