⇒ Under the leadership of Gandhiji, the Civil Disobedience Movement was launched in AD 1930. It began with the Dandi March. On 12 March 1930, Gandhiji with some of his followers left the Sabarmati Ashram at Ahmedabad and made their way towards Dandi, a village on the west coast of India.
⇒ After travelling for twenty-five days and covering a distance of three hundred and eighty-five km, the group reached Dandi on 6 April 1930. Here, Gandhiji protested against the Salt Law (salt was a monopoly of the government and no one was allowed to make salt) by making slat himself and throwing up a challenge to the British government.
⇒ The Dandi March signified the start of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
⇒ The movement spread and salt laws were challenged in other parts of the country. Salt became the symbol of people’s defiance of the government.
