Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi's letter was in a way an ultimatum to the Viceroy Irwin. If the demands were not fulfilled by 11th March, the letter stated, the Congress would launch a civil disobedience campaign. Irwin was unwilling to negotiate. Mahatma Gandhi started his famous Salt March accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march was over 240 miles from Gandhiji's ashram in Sabarmati to Dandi, a coastal town in Gujarat. On 6th April, Mahatma Gandhi reached Dandi and ceremonially violated the salt law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
This event marked the beginning of Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930s.
People were now asked not only to refuse cooperation with the British, as they had done in 1920-1922, but also to break colonial laws. Thousands in different parts of the country broke the salt law, manufactured salt and demonstrated in front of government salt factories. As the movement spread, foreign clothes were boycotted, and liquor shops were picketed. Peasants refused to pay revenue abd chaukidari taxes, village officials resigned, and in many places forest people violated forest laws - going into Reserved Forests to collect wood and graze cattle. These were the methods used by nationalists to fight British.
