Rajkumar Shukla was a determined peasant from Champaran, Bihar, known for his pivotal role in the Champaran Movement, as discussed in the chapter Indigo from Class 12th. He was instrumental in persuading Mahatma Gandhi to visit Champaran and witness the plight of farmers, who were being forced by British landlords to cultivate indigo under exploitative conditions. Shukla’s persistence and resolve to seek justice for the farmers highlighted his dedication and courage, eventually leading to Gandhi’s involvement in the struggle, marking a significant moment in India’s fight for independence.
