How did Gandhi make the Champaran movement broader than a protest against indigo cultivation?
Answer: Gandhi addressed the peasants' wider social problems by promoting education, cleanliness, and improved health in the villages. He also encouraged them to overcome fear and become self-reliant rather than depend entirely on outside help. Thus, the movement aimed at social and moral uplift along with economic justice.
Solution
Gandhi combined the struggle against the indigo system with constructive work in education, sanitation, and health. This helped the peasants develop courage, dignity, and self-reliance.
