Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1918

• The Kheda Satyagraha was a movement of peasants in the Kheda district of Gujarat, India. It was led by Mahatma Gandhi during the British Raj. The movement was a protest against the British government's decision to collect the full land revenue tax despite a severe famine that had affected the region. The peasants demanded that the tax be suspended due to the crop failure, but their pleas were ignored. Gandhi, along with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and other local leaders, organized the peasants to refuse to pay the tax. The government eventually reached a settlement, agreeing to suspend the tax for that year and reduce it for the following year.
