The cultivators of Champaran had protested against excessive taxation on sugar Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was Mahatma Gandhi's first major intervention in India. - Statement 1: The forced indigo cultivation under the 'tin kathia' system and the exploitative practices of European planters had caused long-standing resentment among the cultivators in Champaran, leading to sporadic protests and agitations before Gandhi's arrival. This statement is correct. - Statement 2: Gandhi's arrival in Champaran, his methodical inquiry into the grievances, and his use of Satyagraha (non-violent resistance) attracted nationwide attention. His leadership effectively highlighted the plight of the Champaran cultivators and garnered support from across India, giving the local issue all-India publicity. This statement is correct. - Statement 3: The cultivators were protesting against the compulsory cultivation of indigo on a fixed portion of their land (tin kathia system), unfair prices for indigo, and illegal cesses and fines imposed by the planters. The protest was related to indigo production and the exploitative system around it, not excessive taxation on sugar. This statement is incorrect.
