The famous 'Palaash' or Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 was organized against which of the following oppressive administrative measures of the colonial government?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 was a major agrarian movement organized against a steep thirty percent enhancement in land revenue imposed by the colonial administration in Gujarat. Vallabhbhai Patel successfully led the peasants in refusing payment until the government appointed an independent inquiry committee, which eventually reduced the hike. This campaign earned Patel the title of Sardar from the local women. Questions on peasant movements under Gandhian leadership often highlight this successful satyagraha.
