On 2nd March, M K Gandhi wrote a letter to the then Viceroy of India, Edward Wood, known then as Lord Irwin, about the deplorable conditions of India under British rule, and also about his intention to start a Satyagraha to break the unjust salt laws of India at that time.
In the famous letter, Gandhi addressed Irwin ‘Dear Friend’. He went on to demonstrate the pathetic state of Indians at that time and also showed how the British were responsible for it.
