New Delhi: On March 12, 1930, Mahatma Gandhi embarked a historic Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat's Ahmedabad to the village of Dandi in the state's coastal area to protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mahatma Gandhi and his followers left his Sabarmati Ashram on March 12, 1930, to protest against the British salt monopoly, and this came to be known as the Dandi March. The British exercised a monopoly over the production of salt, while collecting a heavy salt tax.

Explanation:

The Second Civil Disobedience Movement was started by Gandhi on 12th March 1930 with his famous Dandi March. Together with 78 chosen followers, Gandhi walked nearly 200 miles from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a village on the Gujarat sea-coast. There Gandhi and his followers made salt in violation of the salt laws. This was in response to the British introduction of taxation on salt production, deemed the sea-salt reclamation activities illegal, and the repeated use of force to stop it.
