Salt became an effective tool of resistance against colonialism because of the following reasons:

☕ Gandhiji found in salt a powerful bond that would unite the nations as it – was consumed by all rich and poor alike.

☕ Gandhiji’s letter to Viceroy Irwin stated eleven demands. Most of them were of general interest but the most stirring was to abolish the salt tax imposed by the colonial government.

☕ Irwin’s unwillingness to negotiate forced Gandhiji to start his salt March which was joined by thousands. It developed the feeling of nationalism.

☕ People in different parts of the country broke salt law and manufactured salt and demonstrated infront of government salt factories.

☕ People unitedly followed Gandhiji’s words. They refused to pay taxes, revenues, picketed liquor shops, boycotted foreign clothes, resigned from government jobs violated forest laws.
