Answer:The salt march was an effective symbol of resistance against colonialism because Mahatma Gandhi found in Salt a powerful symbol could revive the nation as it was an essential food item.Thousands of people gathered wherever Mahatma Gandhi went. He told them the meaning of Swaraj and asked them to peacefully defy the British.People were asked not to co-operate with the government and stage peaceful demonstrations. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi thousands of people in various parts of the country broke the salt laws manufactured salt and protested in front of salt factories owned by the government. As a movement spread foreign cloth was boycotted and liquor shops were picketed on a large scale. Peasants refuse to pay their taxes.Village officials resigned in many parts.
