Answer:
The Salt Satyagraha or Dandi March, was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi. The march lasted for 24 days from 12 March 1930 to 5 April 1930 in protest against the British salt monopoly.The state monopoly over salt was deeply unpopular; by making it his target, Gandhiji hoped to mobilise wider discontent against British rule. On 12 March 1930, Gandhiji began walking from his ashram at Sabarmati towards the ocean. He reached his destination three weeks later, making a fistful of salt as he did and thereby making himself a criminal in the eyes of the law.
