Champaran Movement and Indigo Cultivation
The question asks to identify the movement associated with the forceful cultivation of Indigo. This practice involved coercing farmers to grow indigo at the expense of food crops, often under oppressive conditions imposed by European planters.
Movement Analysis
- Non-cooperation movement (1920-1922): Primarily focused on boycotting British institutions and achieving Swaraj.
- Champaran Satyagraha (1917): This movement was specifically launched in the Champaran district of Bihar to address the grievances of farmers forced to grow indigo under the oppressive Tinkathia system. Mahatma Gandhi led this protest against the forceful indigo cultivation.
- Bardoli satyagraha (1928): Led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, this was a peasant movement in Gujarat focused on resisting excessive land revenue demands.
- Dandi Yatra (1930): Also known as the Salt March, this was a non-violent civil disobedience action led by Gandhi against the British salt tax.
Conclusion
Based on the historical context, the Champaran Satyagraha is directly linked to the struggle against the forceful cultivation of indigo.
