1918 |
The correct answer is Option 3- 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. |
