Solution

Raj Kumar Shukla apprised Gandhi in Lucknow convention about the atrocities done to the poor peasants in Champaran by the English Indigo-planters. He urged Gandhi to accompany but Gandhi had so many other engagements for the other parts of India. Being a resolute man, Shukla followed Gandhi every where. Then Gandhi asked him to see him in Calcutta. Months passed Shukla was sitting on his haunches at the appointed spot in Calcutta till he was free. His determination impressed Gandhi very much. Consequently, both boarded a train to Patna in Bihar.
