As per law, the farmers were entitled to remission if the produce was less than a quarter of the normal output.
๐But the government refused any remission from paying land revenue.
๐Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, under Gandhi’s guidance, led the farmers in protest against the collection of taxes in the wake of the famine.
People from all castes and ethnicities of the district lend their support to the movement.
๐The protest was peaceful and people showed remarkable courage even in the face of adversities like confiscation of personal property and arrest.
Finally, the authorities gave in and gave some concessions to the farmers.
