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.


How do you know that ordinary people too contributed to the freedom movement?

From the story 'Indigo' we can conclude the fact that ordinary people too contribute to the freedom movement. We come to know this through this chapter, when Rajkumar Shukla a poor peasant who comes from Champaran to Lucknow, to see Gandhi and requested Gandhi to visit his district. Shukla was so determined that he followed Gandhi to every place until he could fix a date of Gandhi. Gandhi was impressed by the sharecropper's tenacity and story. So Gandhi said that he would be in Calcutta on such - and - such a day, and asked Shukla to come and take him from there. After many months Gandhi finally arrived at Champaran. Sharecroppers from Champaran began arriving on foot and by conveyance to see their champion. Gandhi was called upon by the Muzzafarpur lawyers to brief him; they frequently represented the peasant groups in court; they told him about the cases and reported the size of their fee. Gandhi chided the lawyers for collecting big fee. He said that he have come to the conclusion that we should stop going to law courts. Gandhi pointed out that where the peasants are so crushed and fear stricken, law courts are useless. The real relief for them is to be free from fear. So Gandhi began to fight against the injustice shown to the sharecroppers and thousands of sharecroppers of Champaran supported him and finally they were able to make the British landlords pay back the compensation that they had bought from the peasants illegally.


Champaran movement and Mahatma Gandhi's role in it in not more than 2 page?

When Gandhi returned from South Africa, he heard about the case in Champaran that the British forced the poor peasants to grow indigo, and they had no other choice, and he was devastated, but he wasn't willing to do anything until he was chased and stalked by a man who was from Champaran and was sent to make Mahatma Gandhi aware of the crisis. Then, Mahatma Gandhi learned about the whole situation and planned to take action. That is how Gandhi minimized the production of indigo in Champaran.

What is the ultimate aim and proximate aim of education?

Ultimate aim of education is identical with the goal of life, which is 'Self-realization'. Self-realization is the realization of the self proper. True education should result not in the material gains but in spiritual uplift. Gandhiji laid great stress on religious education which teaches fundamental virtues of truth, love, justice and non­violence. According to Gandhiji, "Like without religion is life without principles. "Gandhiji is also of the opinion that God could be achieved not by returning into jungles but by living in a society and serving it. He preferred to call a student "Brahmachari", a searcher after God: Self-realization can take place through self-control, character and abstinence.
