Explanation:On 4 February 1928, Vallabhbhai Patel led the Bardoli Satyagraha in Gujarat.
The provincial government had increased land tax by 30%, which the farmers strongly opposed.
Patel organized the farmers to refuse payment and resist the unjust hike.
Women played a major role in this movement, and they honoured Patel with the title “Sardar”.
This satyagraha was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas of non‑violent protest.
The movement succeeded in forcing the government to reduce the revenue increase.
