In Motihari, numerous peasants took part in various demonstrations outside court. This movement was started by an ordinary peasant called Rajkumar Shukla as he had resilient persistence. It gave birth to first Satyagraha movement in India, and contributing to the freedom movement.
In Champaran, Mahadev Desai and Narhari Parikh, two men joined Gandhi as disciples, and their wives too joined the movement by teaching in school. This eradicated the backwardness in Champaran. A doctor was also a part of this movement for six months.
