As the official inquiry began, a crushing mountain of evidence was found against big planters and when they saw this they agreed in principle to refund the peasants. But the question was over the amount of payment. They thought Gandhi would demand repayment in full of the money which they had illegally and deceitfully taken from the sharecroppers. However, Gandhi asked for only 50 percent and it was on this amount that he seemed adamant. The planters thought that he would not give way so the representative of the planters offered to refund to the extent of 25 percent. To their amazement, Gandhi agreed and took him at his word leading to the breaking of the deadlock. This settlement was adopted unanimously by the commission.
Gandhi explained that the amount of the refund was not important. The real breakthrough lay in the fact that the landlords had been obliged to surrender part of the money and with it their prestige. Therefore, as far as the peasants were concerned, the planters had behaved as lords above the law so far. Now the peasant saw that he also had rights that could not be infringed and defenders of those rights. Events also justified Gandhi's position as a few years later all the British planters abandoned their estates and reverted to the peasants. Indigo sharecropping disappeared. Gandhi looked for immediate solutions rather than long-term political or economic solutions because the former would equip men across the country with courage to stand up against their oppressors.
