Rajkumar Shukla.Mohandas Gandhi was agitated over brutal
exploitation of the indigo planters by the owners of 22 Indigo
factories in Motihari.When farmers joined his agitation,the Britishers
further harassed them and the farms and house of Shukla were auctioned
by the Britishers.Mohandas Gandhi was served with an externment order
by SDM of Motihari during a brief trial.Mohandas was then asked to
furnish a bond for his release,which he refused.Ultimately the

international recognition for the first time and Mohandas was declared
Mahatma by the indigo farmers.
