dandi march short note
Answers
The Salt Satyagraha or Dandi March, was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi. The march lasted for 24 days from 12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930 in protest against the British salt monopoly.The state monopoly over salt was deeply unpopular; by making it his target, Gandhiji hoped to mobilise wider discontent against British rule. On 12 March 1930, Gandhiji began walking from his ashram at Sabarmati towards the ocean. He reached his destination three weeks later, making a fistful of salt as he did and thereby making himself a criminal in the eyes of the law.
Answer:
The dandi March is also called 'salt march'
Explanation:
an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India led by Mahatma Gandhi. The twenty-four day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. Another reason for this march was that the Civil Disobedience Movement needed a strong inauguration that would inspire more people to follow Gandhi's example. Gandhi started this march with 78 of his trusted volunteers.[1] The march spanned 240 miles (390 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, which was called Navsari at that time (now in the state of Gujarat).[2] Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Raj salt laws at 6:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians.[3]
