1916 1920 1919 1918 |
1918 |
The correct answer is Option 4- 1918 The Kheda Satyagraha was a non-violent protest against the high taxes imposed by the British government on the peasants of Kheda. The peasants had suffered from crop failure and a plague epidemic, and they were unable to pay the taxes. Gandhi led the peasants in a peaceful protest, and he eventually persuaded the British government to reduce the taxes. The Kheda Satyagraha was a significant victory for Gandhi and for the Indian freedom movement. It showed that non-violent protest could be an effective way to achieve political change. |
