MAHATMA Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation.
On 31 January, 1930 he sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin stating eleven demands.
The most stirring demands was to abolish the salt tax.
Salt was one of the most essential food items consumed by the rich and poor alike and a tax on it was considered as an oppression on the people by the British government.
Mahatma Gandhiji’s letter was an ultimatum. If his demands were not fulfilled by 11 March, he had to launch a Civil Disobedience Campaign.
So, Mahatma Gandhi started Salt March accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers.
The March was over 240 miles, from Gandhiji’s ashram - Sabarmati to Dandi.
The volunteers walked for 24 days. Thousands came to hear Mahatma Gandhi wherever he stopped.
On 6th April, he reached Dandi and ceremonial violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
This was the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
