About the Book
This volume looks back at the Champaran Satyagraha of 1917
through contemporary accounts and scholarly reflections.
Organized into five parts, the collection contains passages from
Gandhi’s own recollection of the Satyagraha; excerpts from
the accounts of participants such as Rajendra Prasad and J.B.
Kripalani; statements of indigo ryots; selections from official
documents; and extracts from the works of historians and
academics. Gandhi and the Champaran Satyagraha: Select Readings
provides readers with an idea of how the first Gandhian
mass political intervention in India has been recreated,
contextualized, and assessed in writings, and captured through
some archival visuals.
