What is champara?

Champaran is a district located in the state of Bihar in India. It is famous for the Champaran Satyagraha, a movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1917 to fight against the oppressive indigo plantations run by British landlords. This movement not only led to the end of the indigo cultivation system but also paved the way for other movements for India's independence. Champaran is also known for its agriculture, with the cultivation of sugarcane being a major source of income for the local farmers. The district is home to several historic places like Motihari, the birthplace of writer George Orwell, and Someshwar Nath temple, an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Champaran has a rich historical and cultural heritage and attracts tourists from all over India.
