Use of Salt a central formula for the Civil disobidience movement.
He used Salt as a powerful symbol that can unite the nation, some of the reasons for this,
As Gandhi ji himself said “ There is no other article like Salt, outside water, by taxing which Govt can reach the starving millions, the sick, the maimed and the utterly helpless… is the most inhuman poll tax the ingenuity of man can devise”
Gandhi ji linked the Salt into ideal of Swaraj with most concrete and universal grievance of rural poor people.
Salt offorded a paltry but psychologically important income, like Khadi, for the poor through self-help.
Like Khadi, again, it offered to the urban adherents the opportunity of a symbolic identification with mass suffering.
