The city of Sabarmati is significant in Indian history, why?

It was a princely state
Important battle site
Mahatma Gandhi's ashram was located here
Major trade center

The correct answer is: c) Mahatma Gandhi’s ashram was located here.

Sabarmati is a city in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, about 8 kilometers from Ahmedabad. The city is significant in Indian history because it was the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s ashram. The ashram was founded in 1915 and served as a center for Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance movement. It was also the site of the Salt March, a major protest against British rule.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Sabarmati was never a princely state.
  • There were no important battles fought in Sabarmati.
  • Sabarmati was not a major trade center.
