Short Answer Type Questions:
Question. Why did Gandhi agree to a settlement of 25% refund to the farmers?
Answer: According to Gandhi the amount of refund was less important than the fact that the English landlords had been obliged to surrender part of their money and with it part of their prestige.
Question. What was the average Indian's attitude in smaller localities towards advocates of home rule?
Answer: The average Indian was afraid to show sympathy for advocates of home rule. He feared the consequences.
Question. Why did Gandhiji not take the help of C.F. Andrews during the Champaran campaign?
Answer: Gandhiji wanted the lawyers to be self-reliant. He believed that if the cause is just, one must rely on oneself to win the battle. One must not seek a prop as that shows weakness of heart and diffidence.
Question. Why do you think that the Champaran episode was a turning point in Indian struggle for Independence.?
Answer: It was the first successful Civil Disobedience Movement. It began as an ordinary attempt to free the poor peasants from injustice and exploitation. It wiped out fear of the Britishers.
Gandhiji declared to the British that they cannot order him about in his own country and they were outsiders.
Question. Why is Rajkumar Shukla described as being resolute?
Answer: Rajkumar Shukla followed Gandhiji everywhere until Gandhiji agreed to accompany him to Champaran. This was because Gandhiji was impressed by his tenacity.
Question. Why did Gandhiji tell the court that he was involved in a 'conflict of duties'.
Answer: He meant that he must not set a bad example by breaking the law, by refusing to comply with the eviction order, at the same time he must also render humanitarian and National service for which he had come to Champaran.
Long Answer Type Questions:
Question. How did Civil Disobedience Movement triumph at Motihari?
Answer: On the behest of Rajkumar Shukla, a peasant from Champaran, Gandhiji accompanied him to Champaran to understand the plight of the sharecroppers. He found that most of the arable land in Champaran was under the Britishers. Although many peasants had given their share willingly, many were there who wanted to retain their land. Gandhiji decided to address this problem, as the terms of share were erroneous. He had problems with the English officials while trying to uplift the conditions of the peasant group.
Gandhiji succeeded in influencing the lawyers and won the support of the lawyers and sharecroppers. The British officers had to accede to his request finally. This became the first triumph of the Civil Disobedience.
