Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Due to crop failure and a plague epidemic, the peasants of Kheda were unable to pay the revenue and demanded that it be lowered. The Kheda Satyagraha of 1918 was a movement organised by Mahatma Gandhi in the Kheda district of Gujarat. It was a significant revolt in the Indian independence struggle. Gandhi organised the movement to assist peasants who were unable to pay taxes due to famine and plague epidemics. The government insisted on collecting all land revenue and refused to remit taxes. Mahatma Gandhi recommended the peasants suspend the payment of income as part of the experiment until their demand for its remission was granted. Gandhi was essentially the spiritual leader of the movement.
