The Champaran movement was against

  We will explain the reason for the Champaran uprising today, how and who led it and how it happened.

Gandhi's first organized agitation in India was the "Champaran Andolan". In Bihar's Champaran district, farmers were forced to cultivate blue from 20 per cent of the land in three parts of the country and were forced to sell it at a fixed price by Range tree planters. This is called a "triple" system.

Later, as the demand for bluegrass declined, farmers were forced to increase their farmland rents without making bluegrass compulsory, and many illegal taxes were levied. Opposition groups called for a boycott of the assembly. At the invitation of a local resident named Prince Shukla, Gandhi arrived in Motihar, the headquarters of the Champaran district, in April 1917 to study the plight of farmers. The district magistrate ordered Gandhiji and his entourage Rajendra Prasad, Mujahar ul Haq, Mahadev Desai, Narhari Parikh and JB Kripalini to leave the district immediately. Gandhi rejected the order and announced that he would face any punishment for it. Violation of the law by non-violent means emerged as a new form of agitation in India at the time. In the end, the government allowed Gandhi to study the problems of the Champaran farmers, and in this regard, Gandhi was included as a member of the government's Doara Committee.

Gandhi himself succeeded in exploring and protecting the farmers from the exploitation of the Range owners. The three-tier system was abolished, and twenty-five percent of the money illegally collected by the British owner was returned to the farmers. Within a year, the English tree planters had left the area. The Champharan movement was India's first successful non-violent movement led by Gandhi.
