The peasants in Champaran were sharecroppers. The British landlords had an agreement with them. The peasants were to grow indigo on 3/20 or 15% of their land. They were forced to give their whole indigo crop as rent to the British landlords. With the advent of synthetic indigo, the British landlords asked for compensation from the peasants to free them from the agreement. Gandhiji led them in their struggle to get their right and succeeded too. After the episode of 25 per cent refund of money, the peasants came to know that they had rights and defenders. They also learned to behave courageously. The British landlords were so much demoralised that they abandoned their estates which were given to the peasants and indigo sharecropping disappeared. 

चम्पारण के किसान बंटाईदार थे। अंग्रेज जमीदारों ने उनके साथ एक समझौता कर रखा था। किसानों को अपनी 3/20 या 15 प्रतिशत जमीन पर नील उगानी पड़ती थी। उन्हें अपनी पूरी नील की फसल किराये के रूप में अंग्रेज जागीरदारों को देने के लिए मजबूर किया जाता था। कृत्रिम नील के आने के साथ ही अंग्रेज जागीरदारों ने किसानों को समझौते से मुक्त करने के लिए क्षतिपूर्ति माँगी। गाँधीजी ने उनके अधिकारों को पाने के संघर्ष में उनका नेतृत्व किया और सफल भी हुए। 25 प्रतिशत धन वापसी के समझौते के बाद, किसान जान गये कि उनके पास अधिकार हैं तथा उनके साथ उनके रक्षक भी हैं। उन्होंने साहसपूर्वक व्यवहार करना भी सीख लिया। अंग्रेज जागीरदार इतने हतोत्साहित हो गए कि उन्होंने जमीनें छोड़ दीं जिन्हें किसानों को दे दिया गया और नील की बँटाईदारी समाप्त हो गई।
