Question

Why did Gandhi ji choose a common thing like salt to start the movement. Is salt is taxed today?

Answer 1

The Salt Acts were chosen by Gandhi for contravention in a general Civil DisobedienceMovement because they not only appeared to be basically unjust in themselves, but also because they symbolised an 'unpopular, unrepresentative and alien government. '

Answer 2

Answer:

Salt was chosen as the central formula in civil disobedience moment because it was a commodity that every Indian could relate, be it poor,middle class,rich,dalits or brahman all used salt alike.

The tax was finally abolished only in October 1946 by the Interim Government of India. The Salt Tax was one of the most pernicious, longest lasting sources of revenue that supported the British in India.
