Options
Gorakhpur
Kheda
Solapur
Amravati
Solution
The farmers started the no-tax movement in the district of Kheda.
Explanation:
The people of Kheda were unable to pay the high amount of taxes imposed by the Britishers due to crop failure and a plague epidemic. Gandhiji was the leader of the struggle, accompanied by many other devotees. All the communities of Kheda came together to fight against the increase in taxes imposed by the Britishers. The Britishers warned that if the peasants did not pay the tax, their properties and land would be confiscated and many would be arrested. Yet the farmers did not resist. They were arrested but never retaliated to the forces with violence. They used their cash and valuables to donate to the Gujarat Sabha, which had officially organized the protest. Although a vast portion of their land and personal property was seized, the farmers of Kheda remained united with the protests. The government finally agreed and said that the tax would be continued for the year in question and would become completely suspended next year. They also returned the confiscated property.
