Answer 2

Question : Explain the course of 'Salt March'.


Answer:

◾ On Jan 31st, 1930, Gandhi wrote a long letter to the Viceroy Irwin, communicating his decision to start Civil disobedience movement.

◾On 12th March, Mahatma Gandhi began his historic march from Sabarmati to Dandi, a village on Gujrat sea coast.

◾He was accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers, but later joined by many in the route.

◾On the morning of 6th April, Gandhi violated the "Salt Law" by picking up some salt from sea water.

Gandhi's campaign against the Salt was a signal to disobey the British Government's Laws. This was the beginning of Civil disobedience movement. The Civil disobedience movement involved defiance of Salt laws, boycott of liquor, boycott of foreign cloth and British items of any kind.
