Modern India: Mahatma Gandhi and the Nationalist movement

Question:

In which year did the Peasant Satyagraha take place in Bardoli?

Options:

1926

1928

1930

1932

Correct Answer:

1928

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - 1928

Peasant Satyagraha against unfair tax increases during the War of independence took place in Bardoli in 1928.

For several years after the Non-cooperation Movement ended, Mahatma Gandhi focused on his social reform work. In 1928, however, he began to think of re-entering politics. That year there was an all-India campaign in opposition to the all-White Simon Commission, sent from England to enquire into conditions in the colony. Gandhiji did not himself participate in this movement, although he gave it his blessings, as he also did to a peasant satyagraha in Bardoli in the same year.
