Answer:
a. It referred to request to fulfill his demands .
Explanation:
- Mahatma Gandhi discovered in salt a powerful symbol capable of uniting the nation. On January 31, 1930, he sent Viceroy Irwin a letter outlining eleven demands.
- Some were of general interest, while others were specific demands of various classes, ranging from industrialists to peasants. The idea was to broaden the demands so that all classes within Indian society could identify with them and join forces in a united campaign.
- The most stirring demand was to repeal the salt tax. Salt was something that was consumed by both the rich and the poor, and it was one of the most important food items.
- In some ways , Mahatma Gandhi's letter was an ultimatum. If the demands were not met by the Congress would launch a civil disobedience campaign on March 11, according to the letter.
- Irwin refused to negotiate. So Mahatma Gandhi began his famous salt march with 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march was over 240 miles long, stretching from Gandhi's ashram in Sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi.
- The volunteers walked for 24 days, covering approximately 10 miles per day. Thousands flocked to hear Mahatma Gandhi wherever he went, and he explained what he meant by swaraj and urged them to defy the British peacefully. On April 6, he arrived in Dandi and ceremonially broke the law by boiling sea water to make salt.
