Explanation

The correct answer is Vallabhbhai Patel. The Sarabandi campaign of 1922 was a no tax movement launched in Gujarat. It was led by Vallabhbhai Patel, who advised the farmers of the Bardoli taluka not to pay land revenue to the British government. This campaign was part of the broader Non Cooperation Movement. Patel instructed the peasants to remain non violent and firm in their refusal to pay taxes despite the risk of their property being seized. His successful leadership in such agrarian protests eventually earned him the title of Sardar.
