Answer:

Dandi March or Salt March

Dandi March or Salt March, also referred as the Dandi Satyagraha, was a the 24-day Salt March, which was non-violent in nature and is historically significant as it led to the mass Civil Disobedience Movement. The Salt March was an act of civil disobedience led by Mohandas Gandhi to protest British rule in India.

The place Gandhiji selected as the site for his symbolic breaking of the provisions of the hated Salt Tax, was Dandi, a seaside village in Gujarat. He decided to march the full distance of 241 miles, from his ashram at Ahmedabad, with a select band of co-workers. On the way thousands more people joined the march. The Dandi March resulted in the arrest of nearly 60,000 people, including Gandhi himself. But the movement continued without him. It gained more supporters and began to spread.

Cause of Dandi March and Outcome:

Gandhi's plan was to begin civil disobedience with a satyagraha aimed at the British salt tax. The 1882 Salt Act gave the British a monopoly on the collection and manufacture of salt, limiting its handling to government salt depots and levying a salt tax. Violation of the Salt Act was a criminal offence.

The Salt March was one of the first major demonstrations of nonviolent resistance to the British colonial rule led by Mahatma Gandhi. As such, it set forth many of the principles followed in later actions as the Indian independence movement gained momentum as more followers joined the movement. India finally became a sovereign nation in 1947.
