C Answer these questions.
1. What was the law regarding salt?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Britain's Salt Act of 1882 prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in their diet. Indian citizens were forced to buy the vital mineral from their British rulers, who, in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt, also charged a heavy salt tax.

Answer 2

Answer:

Salt Satyagraha was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India. It was led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to produce salt from the seawater in the coastal village of Dandi. Women participated in large number. On the morning of April 6, Gandhi and his followers picked up handfuls of salt along the shore, thus technically “producing” salt and breaking the law.
