Why did the Champaran episode mark a turning point in Gandhis life?

The Champaran episode marked a turning point in Gandhi’s life because it solidified his role as a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement and deepened his commitment to nonviolent resistance, as outlined in the chapter Indigo from Class 12th. It was here that he first successfully mobilized a mass movement for social justice, demonstrating the effectiveness of his principles of Satyagraha and civil disobedience. This experience not only strengthened his resolve to fight against injustice but also established a blueprint for future struggles against colonial oppression. Additionally, the solidarity he witnessed among the farmers reinforced his belief in the power of collective action, shaping his approach to leadership and activism for the years to come.
