Explanation:

The Champaran Movement of Bihar in 1917 was a result of the long colonial oppressive "teenkathiya system" where the planters forced cultivators to grow indigo (a blue dye) in 3/20th parts of their lands. It addressed the economic demands of the peasants. Champaran satyagraha also featured for the first time that bridges had been built between the peasants and the other sections, especially the middle-class intelligentsia, such as Rajendra Prasad, J.B.Kriplani etc.
