what was gandhiji motive to walk the distance of 385kilometer from sabarmati to dandi in one sentence
Answers
Also known as the Salt March and the Salt Satyagraha, the march to freedom was in protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt
2. The Satyagraha was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India initiated by Gandhi to produce salt from seawater, as it had been practiced by the Indian people until British officials deemed such production illegal and repeatedly used force to stop it
3. Because of the British intrusion, the Indians could not independently produce salt and were forced to buy expensive salt
4. The 24-day march that began with as many as 8 volunteers swelled to a few thousands as it reached its destination on April 5, 1930
5. Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way as Gandhi and the others continued on what would become a 24-day march to Dandi in order to produce salt without paying the tax
6. Gandhi led the Dandi March from his base, Sabarmati Ashram, near the city of Ahmedabad to Dandi, a village near Surat, a distance of 385 kilometres
7. The Dandi March had also kick-started Gandhis famous Satyagraha Movement
Answer:
Gandhiji strolled from his ashram in Sabarmati in present Gujarat to the unassuming community of Dandi close to seaside Surat to challenge the pilgrim government's oppressive salt expense. This walk covering the distance of approximately 385 km filled in as an impetus for India's battle for Independence.
