Anurag Singh Thakur - Union Minister of State for Finance & Corporate Affairs & 4th Term Member of Parliament (LS - Hamirpur Himachal Pradesh) speaks about Kalpana Patowary's musical travelogue to the first Satyagraha Movement inspired by Mohandas Gandhi which occurred in Champaran district of Bihar in 1917. Venue : The Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi #TeenKathia was a term used during the freedom struggle in 1917 where peasants were forced to cultivate Indigo plants in 3 kathas out of every 20 Katha lands they owned. Suppressed by the ruthless militias of the landlords (mostly British), they were given measly compensation, leaving them in extreme poverty. Now in the throes of a devastating famine, the British levied a harsh tax which they insisted on increasing the rate. Without food and without money, the situation was growing progressively unlivable and the peasants in Champaran revolted against conditions in indigo plant cultivation. Raj Kumar Shukla, an indigo cultivator, persuaded Gandhi to go to Champaran and thus, the Champaran Satyagraha began. Gandhi arrived in Champaran on 10 April 1917. Composed and Produced by Kalpana Patowary
