    Solution
    In 1917, at Champaran, the government forced farmers to undertake the cultivation of indigo. Indigo for the British happened to be a very profitable cash crop that was used for making dye. The demand of the dye further increased after the recession of the synthetic dye invented by the Germans owing to their massive defeat in the First World War. Hence, the lucrative profits behind the indigo crop forced the formulation of new land laws that were focused on maximising the indigo production which took no consideration of the well-being of the farmers. This led the cultivators to go through a lot of suffering and pain. The immediate idea of Mahatma Gandhi was to relieve the farmers of the Champaran district of Bihar from such plight through the Champaran movement.

    Solution
    The Doctrine of Lapse was a policy applied by the British East India Company (BEIC) in India until 1848. According to the doctrine, any Indian princely state under the suzerainty of the British East India Company (the dominant imperial power in the subcontinent), as a vassal state under the British subsidiary system, would have its princely status abolished (and therefore annexed into British India) if the ruler was either "manifestly incompetent or died without a male heir". At the time of its adoption, the British East India Company had imperial administrative jurisdiction over wide regions of the subcontinent. The company took over the princely states of Satara (1848), Jaitpur and Sambalpur (1849), Nagpur and Jhansi (1854), Tore and Arcot (1855) and Udaipur (Chhattisgarh) under the terms of the Doctrine of Lapse.
