explain dandi March and it's causes
Answers
Answer:
The Dandi Salt March took place at Sabarmati Ashram on March 12th, 1930. The Dandi Salt March, led by Mahatma Gandhi, started because the government was controlling the making and selling of salt and everyone had to pay a salt tax. Gandhi and many other people thought that the salt tax was unfair to the people.
★DANDI MARCH★
Salt March, also called Dandi March or Salt Satyagraha, major nonviolent protest action in India led by Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi in March–April 1930. The march was the first act in an even-larger campaign of civil disobedience (satyagraha) Gandhi waged against British rule in India that extended into early 1931 and garnered Gandhi widespread support among the Indian populace and considerable worldwide attention.
Gandhi was released from custody in January 1931 and began negotiations with Lord Irwin aimed at ending the satyagraha campaign. A truce subsequently was declared, which was formalized in the Gandhi-Irwin Pact that was signed on March 5. The calming of tensions paved the way for Gandhi, representing the Indian National Congress, to attend the second session (September–December 1931) of the Round Table Conference in London.
★CAUSES★
Gandhi through his Dandi March tried to protest against the regressive policies of the British Government and arouse the people of India to fight against the colonialism and its evils through non-violent means. This was the immediate reason for the Dandi March.
