1914

1927

1922

Correct Answer:

1917

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option1- 1917

Mahatma Gandhi launched the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917.

The Champaran Satyagraha was a farmer's uprising against the British indigo planters in the Champaran district of Bihar. The indigo planters were forcing the farmers to grow indigo, a cash crop, on their land. The farmers were paid very little for the indigo, and they were also forced to buy other goods from the planters at high prices.

Gandhi was invited to Champaran by a farmer named Rajkumar Shukla. Gandhi investigated the situation and found that the indigo planters were exploiting the farmers. He decided to launch a satyagraha movement to help the farmers.

The Champaran Satyagraha was a success. The British government was forced to appoint a commission to investigate the conditions of the farmers. The commission recommended that the farmers be compensated for the losses they had suffered, and that they be given the freedom to grow whatever they wanted on their land.
