THE KEY POINTS OF DANDI SALT MARCH IS MENTION BELOW :-

• Mahatma Gandhi has written a letter to lord Irwin by stating eleven demands. Some are generic whereas some are specific.

• Abolition of tax on salt was one of them. Salt is an important commodity which is consumed by both rich and poor.

• When Irwin denied to abolish the salt law, Gandhiji began a famous salt march from 12 Mar 1930 to 6 Apr 1930.

• Gandhiji Started that march with 78 trusted volunteers from Savarmati Ashram to the coastal areas of Dandi.

• Gandhiji talked about swarajya with people wherever he stopped covering 25 days with 385km. Finally he reached Dandi and violated the salt law.

• He violated the salt law by boiling the sea-water which marked the beginning of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT.

• After this incident many people violated salt law by manufacturing sea salt in front of government factories. People now began to break colonial laws.
