Actually there were several reasons why salt was chosen. I ll try and list a few of them

• Salt is one of the entity to which everyone can easily relate to as no matter where you live or what culture you follow salt is a part of your life in one way or the other.
• Making salt at that time was state monopoly and as it was a common household necessity people had to buy it at higher prices which represented the very nature of British rule i.e exploitative.
• Tax on salt caused further deprivation of the poor and hence was severely regressive in nature, further it also deprives them of one of the easy sources of livelihood.
• Use of salt as symbol mobilised wider discontent beyond Hindus Muslims and backward classes.
• Similar agitations could be carried out along the whole coastline of India as was done at that time by several other leaders like salt Satyagraha in Dharsana, C rajagopalachari in Tamil nadu , K kelappan in Malabar.
