Britisher wrest gandiji after salt March movement
Answer: The Salt March was an act of civil disobedience led by Mahatma
Gandhi to protest against the Salt Law introduced by the British Government.
The British Government passed a law that the collection of salt from the sea-coast
was an offence. The Indians had to pay tax on salt. Gandhiji felt that it was injustice
to impose tax on salt as it was made from the sea and it belonged to everyone. In
order to break the Salt Law, Gandhiji started his non-violent Salt Satyagraha on
March 12, 1930 from his ashram at Sabarmati to a place called Dandi on the sea
coast. After reaching Dandi, Gandhiji made salt from the sea water and took a
pledge that with the crystals of salt, he would shake the foundation of the British Empire in India. He described the movement as ‘a battle of might against the right’.
