Gandhiji's first 'Satyagraha' in India was in Champaran, in Bihar. The peasants of that district were being cruelly treated by the British indigo planters. Gandhiji left for Champaran to find out the truth. The news that a Mahatma had arrived to inquire into their sufferings attracted thousands of peasants who flocked to Champaran to have his darshan. The Government got alarmed and Gandhiji was asked to leave the district. He refused and was asked to appear before the magistrate. Later, the case was withdrawn. Gandhiji lived with the peasants for some time in order to learn about their hard lot.
