Which princely state is famed for a revolt against indigo cultivation, similar to the Champaran Satyagraha?

Hutwa Raj
Bettiah Raj
Rajnagar
Dumraon

The correct answer is: Bettiah Raj.

The Champaran Satyagraha was a major nonviolent protest against the British indigo plantation system in the Champaran district of Bihar, India, led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1917. The Bettiah Raj was a princely state in Bihar that was also home to a revolt against indigo cultivation, similar to the Champaran Satyagraha.

The revolt in Bettiah Raj began in 1916, when the peasants refused to continue growing indigo for the British planters. The planters responded by using violence and intimidation against the peasants, but the revolt continued. In 1917, Gandhi visited Bettiah Raj and met with the peasants. He was impressed by their courage and determination, and he agreed to help them in their struggle.

Gandhi organized a series of protests and demonstrations in Bettiah Raj. He also met with the British officials, and he eventually persuaded them to agree to the peasants’ demands. The revolt in Bettiah Raj was a major victory for the peasants, and it helped to pave the way for the independence of India.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Hutwa Raj was a princely state in Jharkhand, India.
  • Rajnagar was a princely state in Madhya Pradesh, India.
  • Dumraon was a princely state in Bihar, India.
