Vallabhbhai Patel launched and led the Bardoli Satyagraha on 4th February, 1928.

The Bardoli Satyagraha was a major peasant movement against an arbitrary increase in land revenue by the Bombay Presidency government. Vallabhbhai Patel successfully organized and led the peasants in their non-violent resistance, earning the title ‘Sardar’ from the women of Bardoli for his leadership.

Mahatma Gandhi supported the movement and visited Bardoli, but the on-ground leadership was provided by Vallabhbhai Patel. Rajendra Prasad was involved in the inquiry committee set up after the movement’s success. Kalyanji Mehta was among the local leaders who initiated the protest before Patel took over the leadership.
