Answer:

  • It was found in a salt powerful symbol which enhanced the nation to be united strongly.The idea was to make the demand wide ranging,.so that all classes within Indian society could identify with them & everyone could be brought together in a united campaign.The most stirring of all was the demand to abolish the salt tax.Salt was something consumed by the rich & the poor alike,& it was one of the most essential foods.The tax on salts & the government monopoly over its production,Mahatma Gandhi declared,revealed the most oppressive face of the British rule .
  • Salt is one of the entity to which everyone can easily relate to as no matter where you live or what culture you follow salt is a part of your life in one way or the other.
  • Making salt at that time was state monopoly and as it was a common household necessity people had to buy it at higher prices which represented the very nature of British rule i.e exploitative.
  • Tax on salt caused further deprivation of the poor and hence was severely regressive in nature, further it also deprives them of one of the easy sources of livelihood.
  • Use of salt as symbol mobilised wider discontent beyond Hindus Muslims and backward classes.
