Events leading to Salt March and Civil Disobedience movement in 1930
1) Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. On January 1930, he sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin stating 11 demands
2) Some of the demands were of general interest while others were specific demands of different classes, etc. The most stirring of them all was to abolish the salt tax. Salt was something consumed by the rich and poor alike and it was one of the most essential food items
3) The tax on salt and the government monopoly over its production, Mahatma Gandhi declared, revealed the most oppressive face of British rule
4) The letter of Mahatma Gandhi stated that if the demands were not fulfilled by March 11th, the Congress would launch a Civil Disobedience campaign
5) Since Irwin was not willing to negotiate, Mahatma Gandhi started his famous Salt March accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march was over 240 miles from Gandhijira
s ashram in Sabarmati to the Gujarat coastal town of Dandi.
6) On April 6th, he reached Dandi and ceremonially violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
