Tinkathia system is the answer that matches the Bihar-specific fact asked in the question. The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was launched by Mahatma Gandhi against the Tinkathia system (Tinkathiya pratha). Gandhi was invited by Raj Kumar Shukla, a local peasant leader, to visit Champaran. After surveying the situation, Gandhi launched a non-violent resistance movement, which became the first successful Satyagraha in India on Indian soil. The Salt tax was the target of the Dandi March (Salt Satyagraha) in 1930, not the Champaran movement. The Zamindari system involved landlord exploitation of tenants but was not specifically the target of the 1917 Champaran movement. The Ryotwari system was a land revenue system prevalent in Madras and Bombay Presidencies. The Champaran Agrarian Act of 1917 eventually abolished the Tinkathia system. The alternatives Salt tax, Zamindari system, Ryotwari system may be valid Bihar-related terms, but they do not satisfy the complete relationship asked here.
