Question

(1) Why did Gandhiji decide to break the
'Salt Act to begin the satyagraha all
over the country?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Namak Satyagrah was in protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt. It was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India to produce salt from seawater, as it had been practised by the Indian people.

Answer 2

In 1882 the British announced the salt act. This act gave the British monolopy on the collection and manufacture of salt . They also levied a taxation system on the use of salt. Even though salt was freely Available to the people who were living near the coast they had to buy if from the britishers. So gandiji has difference opinion that salt must be used as a choice of protest, so gandiji started satyagraha all over country
