The correct answer is Raj Kumar Shukla .
Raj Kumar Shukla drew Mahatma Gandhi’s attention towards the exploitation of the peasants by the European Indigo planters. Raj Kumar Shukla was a farmer from Champaran, Bihar who met Gandhi in 1917 and requested him to visit Champaran to address the problems of the indigo farmers who were forced to cultivate indigo by the British planters, and were subjected to harsh and exploitative working conditions. Gandhi was initially reluctant to get involved, but after hearing Shukla’s plea and witnessing the plight of the farmers himself, he decided to take up their cause and launched the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917. The success of the movement not only led to the abolition of the indigo system in Champaran but also marked the beginning of Gandhi’s journey as a mass leader in India’s struggle for independence.
