Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Read the two clues:
We have to name two places marked on the outline map of India. Place A is the site of a massacre on 13 April 1919. Place B is where Gandhiji led indigo peasants against the plantation system.

Step 2: Identify A:
On 13 April 1919 a crowd gathered in the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab. General Dyer closed the exit and ordered his troops to fire on the unarmed people. Hundreds were killed.
On the map, A is marked in the Punjab region in the north west of India. So A is Amritsar.

Step 3: Identify B:
In 1917 Gandhiji went to Champaran in Bihar. The peasants there were forced by British planters to grow indigo on a part of their land under an oppressive system. Gandhiji led them against it.
This was his first Satyagraha in India. On the map B is marked in the north of Bihar, near the Nepal border. So B is Champaran.

Step 4: Write the names on the lines:
Write Amritsar on the line marked A and Champaran on the line marked B.

Final Answer:
A is Amritsar (Jallianwala Bagh) and B is Champaran. \[\boxed{\text{A Amritsar, B Champaran}}\]
