Yes, salt is used as a metaphor for salt satyagraha.
The British had passed a law and tax on salt, a staple of Indian's diet, which gave British merchants a monopoly on salt and the Parliament placed a high tax on the product.

(1) it brought the British to the table to talk about self-rule,

(2) strengthen Indian resistance to the Raj (British rule), and

(3) displayed to the world the plight of the Indians and the benefit of nonviolent civil disobedience.

Answer 2

Yes salt can be used as a metaphor for salt satyagraha .

Salt satyagraha refers to the protest against the Salt laws introduced by the British .

The British introduced the Salt laws according to which it was a crime to take salt without license .

Thus in the Civil Disobedience Movement , Gandhiji violated the Laws by picking up some salt .

It affected all the sections of the society and therefore Gandhiji wanted to violate the Salt Laws .

Satyagraha refers to fasting and a way to protest against the evil using non violence .
