Which of the following events took place in the year 1928?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Bardoli Satyagraha.
The Bardoli Satyagraha took place in the year 1928 in the Bardoli district of Gujarat. It was a significant farmers' movement led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel against the British government's decision to increase land revenue by 22% despite a poor agricultural season. The peasants, under Patel’s leadership, refused to pay the increased taxes. The movement was marked by non-violent resistance and mass participation. Eventually, the government was forced to roll back the tax hike and return confiscated lands. The success of the Bardoli Satyagraha elevated Patel’s status as a national leader and earned him the title 'Sardar' (leader).
