Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Guzadu
Explanation:
• Guzadu (also spelled Gujadu/Gunadu in some sources) is famously known as the “Bardoli of Garhwal.”
• It emerged as a major centre of peasant resistance against British revenue and tax policies.
• The nature of agitation—mass participation, tax resistance, and collective action—closely resembled the Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928.
• The movement symbolised agrarian awakening in the Garhwal region during the freedom struggle.
• Leaders such as Ram Prasad Nautiyal played an important role in mobilising peasants here.
Information Booster:
• The title “Bardoli of Garhwal” is used in Uttarakhand history texts and state-level exam guides for Guzadu.
• Similar titles were given to regions showing intense peasant mobilisation during the national movement.
