Value points:
Gandhiji stayed at Muzaffarpur where he met the lawyers and concluded that fighting through courts was not going to solve the problem of the poor sharecroppers of Champaran.
He declared that the real relief for them was to be free from ***
. With this intention, he arrived in Champaran and contacted the Secretary of the British Landlord’
association. The Secretary refused to provide him any information.
After this, Gandhiji met the Commissioner of the Tirhut division who served a notice on him to immediately leave Tirhut. Gandhiji accepted the notice by signing it and wrote on it that he would not obey the order.
He was even willing to court arrest for the cause of the peasants.
After four rounds of talks with the Governor, an official commission of inquiry was appointed in which Gandhiji was made the sole representative of the peasants.
Through this commission Gandhiji succeeded in getting 25% of the compensation award for the poor sharecroppers from the British landowners.
The peasants realised that they had rights and defenders. They learnt courage.
