Sardar Patel
It is the prime responsibility of every citizen to feel that his country is free and to defend its freedom is his duty. The most influential person for me is the great freedom fighter ‘Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel’, who was born in 1875. His contributions are really inspirational and without him we will not be able to live in an independent India.

The British Government demanded revenue tax, despite crops failure. Vallabh bhai Patel was young fearless talented lawyer, who planned mass campaigns with farmers and landowners, against decision of the Government. The struggle was successful and those taxes were not collected.
In 1928, Bardoli Taluka people suffered from the flood and the famine; besides that the British Government raised the revenue tax by 30%. Vallabh bhai Patel appealed to reduce the taxes, but the Government frightened farmers and forcefully took taxes from them.
