प्रश्न
Gandhi effectively managed to redress the problems of the indigo sharecroppers with the Lieutenant Governor. What did he achieve?
उत्तर
Gandhi successfully dealt with the Lieutenant Governor to resolve the issues facing the sharecroppers of indigo. The estates returned to the farmers once the landlords abandoned their claims to them. The farmers gained confidence and understood that they had supporters as well. The landlords were forced to give up some of their wealth and status. Gandhi therefore intervened to end the impasse between the farmers and the landlords.
