How Did gandhi help the peasent of champaran?
Bhumihar Brahmins in Champaran had earlier revolted against the conditions of indigo cultivation in 1914 (at Pipra) and 1916 (Turkaulia). Then Pandit Raj Kumar Shukla persuaded Mahatma Gandhi to visit Champaran and the "Champaran Satyagraha" began.[2] At around the same time the Indian National Congress in December 1916 passed at Lucknow a resolution requesting the Government to appoint a committee of both officials and non-officials to inquire into the agrarian trouble facing the district.
Gandhi's historic visit to Champaran was opposed by the British rulers. An order asking him to leave Champaran was served upon him as soon as he arrived at Motihari. Gandhi defied the order. Of the several prominent persons who rallied round him, mention may be made of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Brajkishore Prasad, Acharya Kriplani,Dr. Anugrah Narayan Sinha,Mahadeo Desai, C. F. Andrews, H. S. Pollock, Raj Kishore Prasad, Ram Nawami Prasad,Shambhu Sharan, Ramarshi Dev Trivedi and Dharnidhar Prasad. After considerable struggle the Government was compelled to lift the ban on Gandhi's stay here. For the first time on Indian soil Satyagraha (Non-Violence) was successfully put to the test. Eventually a committee of inquiry was appointed by the Government under the chairmanship of Frank Shy. Gandhi was also made one of the members of the committee. On the basis of valued recommendations of the committee, the Champaran Agraria Law(Bihar and Orissa Act I of 1918) was passed.
In 1920, Gandhi made an extensive tour of Bihar before launching the non-co-operation movement, which earned full support in the district as well. In 1929, a group of volunteers from Champran district came to demonstrate against the Simon commission. In the same year the 21st session of the Bihar students conference was held at Motihari.
As a reaction against the failure of the round table conference held in 1932 there was a popular gathering at Motihari to take the pledge for Independence. Police fired upon the gatherings and charged the demonstrators, armed with lathis.
In course of time, the development of synthetic dyes made the cultivation of indigo redundant.
He needed to use Hindus since they were 90% of the population. So he changed his image to look alike a saint. Always sang Hindu songs to influence Hindus to make them think that he is for them. Also he used Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Nehru for his popularity. He also for a short period of time cleaned public restroom for headline in newspaters. This caught people's attention in a big way.
He was very sneaky. Even he liked Britts and Muslims, he convinced Hindus that he is doing so for the success of his fight for freedom. Independence movement had been going on since 1856, he just jumped in to and gained control.
He became more famous because(1) he was murdered, (2) Gandhi advised Nehru to name his daughter Indira (married to Firroz Khan) his last name Gandhi to fool Hindus. (3) used millions of rupees of Indian taxpayers' money to produce Holliwood film Gandhi with many false info. Movie Gandhi not only made M. K. Gandhi famous but also Indira Gandhi in a big way. Naive Hindus just assume that Indira Gandhi is from the same family of MK Gandhi.
