Rajkumar Shukla came to Mahatma Gandhi to seek help for the oppressed peasants of Champaran, as described in the chapter Indigo in Class 12th. The farmers were forced by British landlords to grow indigo on a portion of their land and then sell it at unfairly low prices, leading to severe hardship. Shukla was determined to bring Gandhi to Champaran, believing only he could help bring justice and end the exploitation. His persistence paid off when Gandhi agreed to accompany him, marking the start of a crucial movement against colonial oppression.
