Salt March or Dandi March was a 24-day non-violent march led by Mahatma Gandhi. New Delhi: On March 12, 1930.British officials introduced taxation on salt production, deemed their sea-salt reclamation activities illegal, and then repeatedly used force to stop it.
The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March and the Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to produce salt from the seawater in the coastal village of Dandi.
The Salt Satyagraha campaign was based upon Gandhi's principles of non-violent protest called satyagraha, which he loosely translated as "truth-force"."[8] Literally, it is formed from the Sanskrit words satya, "truth", and agraha, "insistence".
