how did other people support salt march by gandhi ji?
Answers
Thousands of Indian citizens supported Gandhi from his spiritual shelter near Ahmadabad to the coast of the Arabian Sea, (about 240 miles in distance), is the right answer.
The British government passed the Salt Act in 1882. This act prohibited Indians from marketing salt. Indian citizens under this act were forced to purchase the vital mineral from British traders (who in addition to exercise a monopoly over the production and sale of salt charged a heavy tax on salt). Therefore, to provide the citizens of India with the basic need of salt, M.K Gandhi launched a Dandi March (as an act of civil disobedience) from March to April 1930. this march was supported by a thousand Indians, as Gandhi and his followers were to oppose the policy of the British government to produce salt from the water of the Sea. Throughout this march, Gandhi approached a huge crowd as a result of which a growing number of people connected with the March.
