Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1928.
The Bardoli Satyagraha took place in the year 1928 in the Surat district of Gujarat. It was a major peasant movement led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel against the unjust increase in land revenue imposed by the British government. The farmers, mostly poor peasants, refused to pay the increased tax, demanding its withdrawal. Under Patel’s leadership, the movement was peaceful yet highly organized, earning him the title "Sardar" for his leadership. The British eventually agreed to roll back the tax increase, marking a significant success for civil disobedience and non-violent protest. The Bardoli movement became a symbol of rural resistance and played a crucial role in strengthening the Indian freedom struggle through organized mass action.
