How did Gandhi respond to the official notice to leave Champaran?

When Gandhi received the official notice to leave Champaran, he responded with defiance and determination, as described in the chapter Indigo from Class 12th. Rather than complying with the order, he chose to stay and challenge the authorities, believing that his presence was essential for supporting the peasants in their struggle against injustice. Gandhi’s response underscored his commitment to nonviolent resistance and his belief in standing up for the rights of the oppressed. This act of civil disobedience galvanized the local community and drew greater attention to the plight of the farmers, ultimately leading to significant developments in the Champaran Movement.
