The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was related to indigo peasants. Exam tip is to remember Champaran as Gandhi's first Satyagraha in India.

The Champaran Satyagraha was connected with indigo cultivation. In Champaran, many tenant farmers were forced by European planters to grow indigo on part of their land under oppressive arrangements. This reduced their freedom to grow food crops and placed them under economic pressure. Mahatma Gandhi investigated their complaints and used satyagraha to support their demand for relief and justice.

Option A, indigo, is therefore correct. Cotton, tea and jute were important crops in different regions or contexts, but they do not identify the main agricultural grievance of the Champaran movement. The useful historical association is Champaran with forced indigo cultivation, Gandhi’s inquiry, and a non-violent struggle on behalf of the affected peasants. This connection makes A the only suitable choice.
