Champaran Satyagraha - On July 20, 1917, Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of
the Indian independence movement, arrived in Champaran, Bihar, to
support the indigo farmers who were being exploited by British indigo
planters. This marked one of the first instances of Gandhi's nonviolent
resistance campaigns in India and played a crucial role in his evolution
as a political leader.
