I'm not a professional, or haven't studied anything about the theme. Indigo is the natural dye used for the blue jeans we all use, it requires a very hard work to grow it, and its a perennial crop. You might draw to the conclusion that it is important to British people because of its high demand all around the world, and Britain meets perfectly the ideal environment to cultivate it.
Prior to the British involvement in India, local people had owned all of the land, on which they grew crops such as sugar cane. They made enough money out of their land to live off, and to feed their families. However, when the British came to India, they forced the people of Champaran to grow the Indigo plant, as it could be used to make an expensive dye (indigo dye), which would bring a lot of profit. The British claimed ownership of the land in Champaran, and took all of the indigo crops produced by the farmers in order to sell them. As a result, the local people, who were previously comfortable, had nothing.
There have been a number of movements by the indigo planters of Champaran, in protest against their mistreatment at the hands of British landowners. However, the most famous of these was in 1917, when Mahatma Gandhi became a figurehead for this suffering of the indigo planters.Why were the indigo planters unhappy?Prior to the British involvement in India, local people had owned all of the land, on which they grew crops such as sugar cane.

However, when the British landowners and authority figures heard about his plan to visit, they asked for an order to be enforced by the police to stop Gandhi from visiting Champaran.Despite this, Gandhi still entered the area of Champaran, defying the court order. He was successful in highlighting the plight of the indigo farmers using non-violence, or Satayagraha. This was the first successful demonstration of Satayagraha in Indian history.

Yes! .....There I was thinking "I'm a fifty year old Indigo Child." Like most people I thought most indigo souls were children. But I have realized that there are quite a few Indigo Adults who came as forerunners years ago.
