The Sarabandi (no tax) campaign of 1922 was led by

The Sarabandi (no-tax) campaign of 1922 was led by Vallabhbhai Patel. Study-materials and lecture notes explicitly list the leader of the Sarabandi no-tax campaign alongside Patel’s other Gujarat peasant actions, connecting him to tax-resistance agitations in the 1920s. Biographical sketches describe Patel as the organiser and leader of major peasant satyagrahas in Gujarat, notably Bardoli, and underline his role in tax-resistance campaigns that mobilised rural communities through disciplined non-cooperation [1]. Official accounts of Patel’s work likewise emphasise his prominence as the architect of Gujarat tax-resistance movements (Kheda/Bardoli pattern) and his leadership style in such no-tax satyagrahas, corroborating his central role in the Sarabandi campaign [1].
