Answer:

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

Salt is a thing consumed by both the rich and the poor. Due to this, Gandhiji stated the British monoploy over the salt industry as the most brutal face of the British colionalism. So, he decided to abolish the salt laws in order to reduce the cost of salt which is available to the people.

Answer:


Gandhi ji choose to protest the taxation on salt because he realised that salt was one of the most essential thing. Both rich and poor used it and it was an essential food item and the monoply of government in the salt would mean ristrictions to the peasens and the weak section of socity. He wanted aristrocrycy in the salt and no interference of the government. Like the same way the early nationalists wanted to abolish taxes on salt as well as sugar
