Leadership: Vallabhbhai Patel organized the peasants, maintained discipline, and ensured the movement remained nonviolent (Satyagraha).

The Bardoli Satyagraha became a landmark in India’s freedom struggle, showing the power of organized, peaceful resistance.
It also established Patel as one of the foremost leaders of the Indian independence movement.
Answer: The Bardoli Satyagraha was led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who earned the title “Sardar” through this movement.
