Which 1928 peasant movement in the taluka of Bardoli, led by Vallabhbhai Patel against a 22% tax hike, is said to have earned him the title 'Sardar' from the women of the region?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Bardoli Satyagraha
- Step 1: The Bardoli Satyagraha began on 12 February 1928 in the taluka of Bardoli in Surat district of Gujarat, and was eventually led by Vallabhbhai Patel. It demanded cancellation of a 22% tax hike, and the increase was eventually set at only 6.03%. It was the women of Bardoli who bestowed the title Sardar. Answer: Bardoli Satyagraha. Why not the others: Kheda Satyagraha is a different movement, not the 1928 Bardoli one; Champaran Satyagraha is a different movement, not the 1928 Bardoli one; Tebhaga Movement is a different movement, not the 1928 Bardoli one.
