Where did it happen?
In Champaran district, Bihar, India.
Why did it start?
British indigo planters forced Indian farmers to grow indigo under the Tinkathia system, which required peasants to cultivate indigo on 3/20th of their land.
Farmers were:
Paid very low prices
Forced to sell indigo to British planters
Exploited and heavily taxed
When synthetic dyes reduced indigo demand, planters still forced farmers to grow it and even demanded compensation.
Gandhi’s Role
Gandhi visited Champaran in 1917 after being invited by local leader Raj Kumar Shukla.
He conducted investigations into farmers’ grievances.He used Satyagraha (non-violent resistance) to protest against injustice.
Despite being ordered to leave by British authorities, Gandhi refused — marking his first act of civil disobedience in India.
Results
A committee was formed to investigate the issue.
The oppressive Tinkathia system was abolished.
Farmers received refunds and relief.
Gandhi emerged as a national leader.
Importance
First successful application of Satyagraha in India.
Beginning of Gandhi’s leadership in the Indian National Movement.
Boosted confidence among Indians to fight British rule through non-violence.
