Why did Gandhiji consider freedom from fear more important than legal justice for the poor peasants of Champaran?

Answer»
  • Exploitation of indigo farmers by British Landlords.
  • Farmers resorted to legal help to fight cases against the landlords
  • Not too many got encouraging results and also, this could only get them short term benefits
  • Farmers terrorized and crushed under the exploitation by landlords.  
  • Gandhiji-practical and farsighted approach-felt that if the downtrodden farmers could be released from fear, rest everything would fall into place. 
  • Started an exercise in empowering the farmers and giving them lessons in courage through his own example. 
  • Dealt with all the clever moves of the Britishers fearlessly and boldly without getting intimidated by their orders.
  • Felt that lessons in courage would remain with the farmers all their lives and would never be taken advantage of/ exploited.
