Which one of the following is a very significant aspect of the Champaran Satyagraha ?
Show answer
Answer: C. The Champaran Satyagraha (1917) was Gandhi's first satyagraha in India and took up the grievances of indigo peasants against European planters. It linked peasant unrest with the national movement. So option C.
Watch for: Option D mentions crops, but the significance was political, not a fall in cultivation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Champaran was a local movement, not an all-India one.
- B. Wrong because it was about indigo peasants, not mainly Dalit and tribal participation.
- D. Wrong because it did not cause a drastic fall in plantation and commercial crops.
