In 21st century, when we are heading towards a technological savvy world – this chapter reminds us the glorious history of emancipation from slavery.

Mahatma Gandhi is the main theme of this story. This chapter has the details of Champaran episode where farmers were struggling for their rights from British Government. How Gandhi fought for them and provide justice to the farmers is the central core of this chapter.
