What to Focus On

  • Louis Fischer was a journalist and author.
  • The chapter is an excerpt from The Life of Mahatma Gandhi.
  • The setting is colonial Champaran in Bihar.
  • Rajkumar Shukla was a sharecropper, not a politician or landlord.
  • He was poor, illiterate, and resolute.
  • He persuaded Gandhi to visit Champaran.
  • Peasants had to cultivate indigo on three-twentieths or 15 per cent of their land.
  • The entire indigo harvest was taken as rent.
  • Synthetic indigo changed the economic situation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Gandhi went to Champaran to launch a political movement first, and the peasants’ distress was only a side issue.

Rajkumar Shukla was a leader, politician, or delegate, not a sharecropper.

The peasants had to plant indigo on 15 per cent of their land and give that same 15 per cent as rent.
