Question:

When was the Champaran Agrarian Act passed?

Options:

1920

1922

1918

1924

Correct Answer:

1918

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3- 1918

The Champaran Agrarian Act was passed in 1918.

The act was passed in response to the Champaran Satyagraha, a peasant movement led by Mahatma Gandhi against the British indigo planters in the Champaran district of Bihar. The planters had forced the farmers to grow indigo under terms that were greatly unfavorable to the farmers.

The Champaran Agrarian Act abolished the forced cultivation of indigo and provided other relief to the farmers. It was a significant victory for the peasant movement and helped to pave the way for India's independence in 1947.
