Leadership in the Freedom Struggle: Kheda and Bardoli Satyagrahas
Patel's leadership was evident during the Kheda Satyagraha of 1918, where he led farmers in Gujarat to demand tax relief from the British government. His success in this movement solidified his reputation as a formidable leader. In 1928, during the Bardoli Satyagraha, Patel's strategic leadership led to the return of confiscated lands to farmers, further cementing his legacy.
