Hay Guys!!!

March 12 is an important day for the Indian freedom struggle as the day marks the beginning of civil disobedience movement with the Dandi March. But do you know why Mahatma Gandhi started the movement by breaking the salt law first?

Covering the distance of 386 km from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi on foot, the 62-year-old 'Bapu' was first joined by hundreds and then thousands on his way. It was the start of the civil disobedience movement which commenced as Mahatma Gandhi broke the salt law on the coastal town of Dandi on the Arabian Sea on April 5. Dandi March is also known as Namak Satyagrah or Salt Satyagrah.British had the monopoly over salt manufacturing and selling. The Namak Satyagrah was in protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt. It was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India to produce salt from seawater, as it had been practised by the Indian people. The British officials deemed such production illegal and forced the people to buy it at expensive rates.Although the plan of Dandi March was to reach the coastal town and work the salt flats on the beach which were encrusted with crystallized sea salt at every high tide, the police crushed the salt deposits into the mud. So Mahatma Gandhi reached down and picked up a small lump of natural salt out of the mud, thus, defying the British salt law.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: I was very happy to participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement because I understood that I have to serve the nation in whatever capacity I could. I had heard Gandhiji speaking and asking us to participate in this movement I feel service to the nation as a sacred duty of women. Inspired by him, I also offered Satyagraha. Picketed liquor shops and shops selling foreign cloth and also courted arrest. I felt empowered by these activities and felt that women also can help the men in the ultimate goal of achieving independence from the British. I felt very proud to be the part of the movement but also I felt that the participation of women was taken by many Indians as symbolic.
