The Bardoli Satyagraha took place in which year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1928.

The Bardoli Satyagraha took place in 1928 in the Bardoli taluka of Gujarat. It was led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and became a pivotal movement in India’s freedom struggle. The protest arose when the British government increased land revenue by 30%, causing immense hardship for farmers. Patel organized the farmers to refuse payment, leading to widespread civil disobedience. The movement’s success forced the British to roll back the tax hike and earned Patel the title “Sardar,” symbolizing his leadership and dedication.
