Champaran Satyagraha of 1917

The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917, in the Champaran district of Bihar, India during the period of the British Raj, was the first Satyagraha movement inspired by Mohandas Gandhi and a major revolt in the Indian Independence Movement. Another important Satyagraha just after this revolt was Kheda Satyagraha.

The peasants (bhumihars) of the Champaran and other areas of North Bihar were growing the Indigo under the tinakathia system. Under the tinakathia system the peasants were bound to plant 3 out of 20 parts of his land with indigo for his landlord.

Gandhi and his associates toured the villages and held open discussions with the villagers. Having heard their grievances, he successfully demanded that tinkathia system should be abolished and farmers should be compensated for illegal dues. As a result, European planters left the area for good in the next few years. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s experiments in India had begun.
