In which of the following cities did Mahatma Gandhi lead the peasant movement against the imposed indigo cultivation by the British planters?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the issue: The question asks which city saw Mahatma Gandhi lead a peasant movement specifically against forced indigo cultivation by British planters.

2. Historical fact: The Champaran movement was Gandhi's first active mass protest in India against indigo plantation atrocities. He led the peasants in Champaran in the year $1917$.

3. Eliminate other options:
   - Kheda: Peasant tax movement led by Gandhi in $1918$, but about revenue relief, not indigo cultivation.
   - Bardoli: Peasant movement in $1928$ led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (Bardoli Satyagraha), not an indigo movement.
   - Gorakhpur: Not associated with Gandhi-led indigo agitation.

4. Conclusion: The indigo peasant movement led by Gandhi took place in Champaran (option 4), so the correct choice is option d.
