Correct Answer :

Vallabhbhai Patel

Solution

The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 was led by Vallabhbhai Patel, who later earned the title "Sardar", meaning leader or chief, for his leadership and organizing skills. This movement was launched in the Bardoli district of Gujarat in response to the increase in land revenue assessment by the British government. Patel organized the farmers to refuse payment of the increased taxes and mobilized support through non-violent resistance. The successful outcome of the Satyagraha significantly enhanced Patel’s reputation as a leader and played an important role in the Indian independence movement.
