The Bardoli Satyagraha was a peasant movement that took place in 1928 in the Bardoli taluka of Gujarat. It was a protest against the arbitrary increase in land revenue rates by the British government. The movement was led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. His effective leadership and organization skills led to the success of the satyagraha, resulting in the government reducing the tax increase. It was during this movement that the women of Bardoli gave Vallabhbhai Patel the title 'Sardar' (leader).
