How long did Gandhi stay in Champaran initially?

Initially, Gandhi stayed in Champaran for about a year, as described in the chapter Indigo from Class 12th. He arrived in April 1917 and dedicated his time to understanding the plight of the indigo farmers, organizing their grievances, and mobilizing support for their cause. During this period, he immersed himself in the local issues, meeting with farmers and leaders, and laying the groundwork for the Champaran Movement. His extended stay allowed him to build trust within the community and effectively advocate for their rights against the oppressive practices of the British landlords.
