What was the reason for Mahatma Gandhi to organize a satyagraha on behalf of the peasants of Kheda ? 1. The Administration did not suspend the land revenue collection in spite of a drought. 2. The Administration proposed to introduce Permanent Settlement in Gujarat. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. The Kheda Satyagraha of 1918 was organized by Mahatma Gandhi. 2. Statement 1 is correct: The primary reason for the satyagraha was the refusal of the British Administration to suspend land revenue collection despite severe crop failure (due to drought and plague) in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The peasants were entitled to remission under the revenue code, but the authorities denied it. 3. Statement 2 is incorrect: The British Administration did not propose to introduce Permanent Settlement in Gujarat at that time. Permanent Settlement was mainly confined to Eastern India. The land revenue system in most parts of Gujarat was a form of Ryotwari settlement.
