The author visited the ashram of Gandhi in Sevagram in 1942. The latter explained to him that in 1917 it came to his mind to urge the departure of the Britishers. In December 1916, Gandhi had gone to attend the annual convention of the Indian National Congress in Lucknow. There came Raj Kumar Shukla, a poor share-cropper from Champaran to complain Gandhi about the injustice of the landlords in Bihar. At his vehement insistence, Gandhi went there and saw the poor peasants in pitiable and terrified conditions. This episode made home in Gandhi and he decided that the British must quit India.

To get the required number of tigers to kill, the Maharaja asked his dewan to find a suitable girl for him to marry. A suitable girl for matrimonial alliance would be one who would not only come from a royal family but also belong to a state with a large tiger population. As Pratibandapuram had no more tigers left, a province that belonged to his father-in-law would certainly provide him with an opportunity to kill more tigers and reach his aim of killing one hundred tigers.

Sir:

I am writing this letter to bring your attention to the growing nuisance of auto drivers overcharging in our area. We live in a remote corner from town and the auto drivers always ask for a return fare. I have also noticed that a lot of times the fare from my office to home is different even though the time taken/traffic is almost the same. I need you to raise this concern in your newspaper and also have more traffic inspectors in our area to monitor these auto drivers and have them fined in case they over charge.

thanks you
Yours truly,

The Rattrap man happens to get refuge for a night shelter at the Ramsjo Iron works. By chance the owner mistakes him as an old acquaintance and inuites to spend for the Christmas eve but the Rattrap declines his offer. The ironmaster sends his daughter Edla to bring and persuade the mar at their house. Haring milk of human kindness flowing in her body, she finds the peddler in a very miserable condition through her kind, considerate and persuasive power, she gets success in taking the peddler alongwith her. She promises to him to leave as and when he desires. Being a perfect host, she takes every care to make her guest feel comfortable at home. She is a practical and fine observer of people. She immediately tells her father that the peddler seems to be both an uneducated and thief. But the father points out that the stranger will be fine after properly dressed.

When the truth is known, the ironmaster becomes ugly and threatens to call the shrieft. He orders to peddler to leave away at once. But Edla intercedes for the vagabond and lets her father concede for his proper stay till the Christmas Eve. She is against chasing away a person whom they have invited for a promised “Christman Cheer”. Her persuasive powers make the stranger surrender to her wish. She is happy when the peddler leaves for her with a Christmas present and a thirsty kroner note. In his letter to Edla, he thanks for being so, nice to him. He finally thanks her saving him from falling into the “world’s rattrap”. It is thus, the love and understanding brings out a basic human goodness in the peddler.

The Peddler is a thief later he repents for his wrong doing.

The Peddler is a thief. Crofter is wealthy man he accommodated peddler one day. Peddler as thief stole crofter money and left the place entered into a new place. The Iron master mistook peddler to be his old friend and accommodated in his house. Iron master daughter took care of peddler. The way the daughter treated him made to feel guilty for his mistake he wrote a letter and ask the daughter to return the money to the crofter.

• The peddler was a lonely man who looked like a beggar. He was a homeless wanderer who used to sell rattraps. Once he knocked the door of a crofter who was equally lonely like him for a night stay. He was received by the crofter warmly and cheerfully. Crofter was proud of his cow that gave him enough milk. So he told the peddler about the thirty kronors he got by selling the milk of the cow and he used to keep his money in a leather pouch that hung from a nail in the window frame. He felt that the peddler did not believe him so he showed the money to convince him. Having stolen the money, the peddler didn?t find it safe to walk along the public highway. So he went through the woods and got lost. Here, he thought that the whole world was a rattrap and the money he had stolen was a bait and he himself was trapped in it. Later, he regretted for stealing the crofter?s money so much so that when Edia invited him for Christmas, he returned the stolen money to her.

Initially the stranger declined the ironmaster’s invitation. He had the stolen thirty kronors on him and thought it was like going into the lion’s den. But then he accepted the ironmaster’s invitation because Edla’s sympathy and compassion allayed his fears and her friendly manner made him to have confidence in her.

When the ironmaster failed to persuade the stranger to accompany home he sent his daughter Edla Williamansson to bring him home.
She went to the stranger and lifted his hat and told that she was Edla.

She said, “I am so sorry captain, that you are having such a hard time.” She looked at him mercifully and assured, that he would be allowed to leave them just as freely as he had come. She requested to stay with them over Christmas Eve. Her friendly manners aroused confidence in the peddler and he accepted his invitation.

The peddler of rattraps had a habit of visualising the world as a giant rattrap which people he knew fall prey to. While travelling one day , he takes shelter at the house of an old man who gives him supper and shows him kind hospitality. He shows the peddler the money that he had recently earned by selling the milk of his cow. Afterwards when the peddler gives in to his greed and steals the money when the old man is absent, he realises that he has been trapped himself. Later in the night, he is again sheltered at the house of the ironmaster at ​the Ramsjo mills by his daughter. The ironmaster at first had mistaken him for an army captain he knew, but when he realizes his mistake he expresses his suspicion of him being a thief. The peddler proves his suspicions wrong in a letter he writes to the daughter, where he returns the money of the old man. In the letter, he confesses that at the ironmaster's place, he was again tempted by the world's rattrap but this time he had managed to escape it.

Hana is an epitome of a loving, dedicated and caring wife. She always has love and affection in her heart for Sadao. In spite of being married for so many years, she is still the same loving wife. She often assists Sadao in her medical operations as she helped him with anesthetics while operating Tom. She loves her family. She gets scared when a man in uniform appears at the gate. She is also a good-hearted woman as she also wished Tom to be saved. She is quite hardworking. When Yumi, the nurse refuses to wash Tom, she does it herself. When the servants leave Sadao’s home in protest, she does all the chores herself. However, she is not as courageous as Sadao.

Answer:
Gandhi told the court that he was involved in a ‘conflict of duties’, i.e. he must not set a bad example by breaking the law (by refusing to comply with the eviction order), but he must also render the humanitarian and national service for which he had come to Champaran.
