Answer» The main causes for the champaran movement were :1) In champaran and as the matter of fact in the whole of Bihar there was an enormous personal increase in the land rent .2) The peasants wete obliged to grow indigo and this curtailed their freedom for cultivation . 3) The peasants were COMPELLED to devote the best part of their land for growing particular CROPS as desired by the landlord . They were also required to give their best time and energy to the crops DECIDED by the landlord . 4) The peasants were paid very low wages . These were so meagre that it was very difficult for them to earn their livelihoods .5) One very imporatant reason for the champaran unrest was the sub-human life led by the people . Gandhiji when visited champaran was very much DISPLEASED by the abject poverty of the peasants . He expressed his feelings in the following words 'The peasants of champaran are leading their lives LIKE animals suffering from all kinds of miseries'. |
