Correct Answer: indigo
Solution : The correct answer is indigo.
It was a peasant movement that pitted indigo farmers against indigo planters during the colonial era. In place of the crops, they preferred to grow, the farmers of Champaran were compelled to grow indigo. Gandhi started the first civil war. Large Zamindari estates made up the Champaran district, which was a permanent settlement area. Mahatma Gandhi started the Indigo Revolt in 1917 to protest the injustice done to farmers in Bihar.
