Chittaranjan Das

C

Rajaguru

D

Vallabhbhai Patel

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

1. The Sarabandi campaign (no tax campaign) mentioned refers to the refusal by peasants to pay taxes, a form of civil disobedience during the Indian independence movement. 2. While there were various no tax campaigns, the year 1922 points towards the context of the Non-Cooperation Movement and its aftermath. 3. A significant no tax campaign was planned as part of the Non-Cooperation Movement in Bardoli, Gujarat. Although the larger movement was called off in February 1922 after Chauri Chaura, the groundwork and mobilization in places like Bardoli were crucial. 4. Later, the famous Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928, also a no tax campaign against enhanced land revenue, was successfully led by Vallabhbhai Patel, earning him the title 'Sardar'. 5. Given the options and the significance of Bardoli, Vallabhbhai Patel is strongly associated with leading peasant no tax campaigns in this period and region.
