Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) Champaran

In 1917 Gandhi intervened at Champaran in Bihar against the tinkathia system, under which indigo planters forced farmers to grow indigo on part of their land. Kheda (1918) was a revenue-remission struggle and Ahmedabad (1918) a mill-workers dispute, so both came later.
