Explanation: The Champaran Satyagraha (1917) – First Civil Disobedience by Gandhi: ? Mahatma Gandhi was requested by Rajkumar Shukla, a local man, to look into the problems of the farmers in context of the indigo planters of Champaran in Bihar. ? The European planters had been forcing the peasants to grow indigo on 3/20 part of the total land (called the Tinkathia system). ? When Gandhi, joined now by Rajendra Prasad, Mazharul-Haq, Mahadeo Desai, Narhari Parekh and J.B. Kripalani, reached Champaran to probe into the matter, the authorities ordered him to leave the area at once. ? The government appointed a committee to go into the matter and nominated Gandhi as a member. Gandhi was able to convince the authorities that the Tinkathia system should be abolished and that the peasants should be compensated for the illegal dues extracted from them. As a compromise with the planters, he agreed that only 25 per cent of the money taken should be compensated.
