Answer
(I) is true but (II) is false
Explanation — Statement (I) tells us that the Indigo cultivators of Champaran were heavily exploited by European planters, which led to Gandhi's famous Champaran Satyagraha (1917), whereas in Statement (II) talks about the actual system was called "Tinkathia", which required farmers to grow indigo on 3/20th of their land (roughly 15%), not half.
Therefore, Statement (I) is true but (II) is false.
