Indigo

Indigo is an inspiring chapter from the NCERT Class 12 English textbook Flamingo, written by Louis Fischer. The chapter narrates the story of Mahatma Gandhi’s first successful Satyagraha movement in Champaran, Bihar, where indigo sharecroppers were being exploited by British landlords. The movement began when the determined peasant Rajkumar Shukla persuaded Gandhi to visit Champaran and witness the suffering of the farmers. Through careful investigation, peaceful resistance, and moral courage, Gandhi helped the peasants challenge injustice and secure their rights.
