Question

program for the movement of dandi march

Answer 1

Gandhi began the Civil Disobedience Movement with a Satyagraha against the salt law. Under this law, nobody could manufacture salt in India without government permission. Gandhi decided to start the Civil Disobedience by breaking this law, as salt was used by everybody and would unite all sections of the people cutting across barriers of class, caste and religion. He undertook the Dandi March - a 385 kilometer walk which began at Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930 and ended at the coastal village of Dandi on 6 April 1930. A Large number of people joined Gandhi and his followers along the way. At Dandi, Gandhi picked up a hand full of natural salt and broke the salt law. This sparked off the widespread Civil Disobedience Movement.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Salt March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, Dandi March and the Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The 24-day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. Mahatma Gandhi started this march with 80 of his trusted volunteers.[1] Walking ten miles a day for 24 days, the march spanned over 240 miles (384 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, which was called Navsari at that time (now in the state of Gujarat). Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the salt laws at 6:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the British Raj salt laws by millions of Indians.[2]
