Solution
Champaran (Bihar) Satyagrahas was organised by Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi fought for the rights of indigo cultivators, who were subjected to illegal collection by British planters. The uprising later led to setting up a Commission which finally ruled in favour of the planters. This was one of the early successes of Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent campaign.
