This Act prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, but it imposed a heavy tax. A Dandi March was planned that entailed a 390-kilometer march to the Arabian Sea. There Gandhi Ji

would collect salt as a symbol of defense of the government’s monopoly. Wearing a white

shawl and sandals and carrying a walking stick, he set out from his religious retreat in

Sabarmati on March 12, 1930, with some followers. He reached the coastal town of Dandi

after 24 days and broke the law by making salt from evaporated sea water. Gandhi Ji was

again imprisoned for the same.

In August 1934, Gandhi Ji left the Indian National Congress, and the leadership was passed

on to Jawaharlal Nehru. Gandhi Ji launched a Quit India movement in the year 1942, asking

the British to leave the country immediately. Again, he was arrested and put behind bars

along with his wife and other leaders. With his health going down Gandhi Ji was released

after nineteen months. The negotiations began for an independent India; however, it leads

to the partition on Hindus being India and Muslims being Pakistan. Violence had already

roared before the Independence. Finally, India became Independent on 15th August 1947.

Gandhi Ji still pleaded people to maintain peace and nonviolence.

Weakened from the continuous hunger strikes, the 78-year-old Gandhi with his two

grandnieces led from his living quarters in Delhi’s Birla House to a prayer meeting. Where an

Activist Named Nathuram Godse was upset with Gandhi Ji over his tolerance with the

Muslims shot him three times with a semiautomatic pistol. This act took the life of a

nonviolence preacher. Godse and his fellow co-Ordinator was hanged in the year 1949, and

the rest of the conspirators were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Gandhi Ji always believed in Simple living. Making his own clothes, to eating vegetarian

diets. Keeping fast for self-purification, all these facts show how great a man he was.

Satyagraha remains one of his most important philosophy.
