It was the other way round – ‘The Champaran tenant’, informs Gandhi, ‘was bound by law to plant three out of every twenty parts of his land with indigo for his landlord’. This system was called Tinkathia.
Gandhiji was a member of the formal inquiry committee set up by the Lieutenant Governor of Bihar, Sir Edward Gait. The Committee was chaired by Sir Frank Sly. It was upon the recommendations made by this committee that the Champaran Agrarian Act was passed.
Gandhi’s association with Champaran lasted for a year. Towards the end he had got busy with another agrarian Satyagraha at Kaira (or Kheda) in Gujarat. He did not limit his stay in Champaran to indigo issue. He promoted primary education in a poorly literate district by inviting volunteers, who came from as far as Maharashtra and Gujarat.
