Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. On 31 January 1930, Mahatma Gandhi wrote a letter to Viceroy Irwin stating eleven demands. Some if these were if general interest while others were specific demands of different classes ranging from industrialists to poor peasants. The idea was to make wide ranging changes so that all the different classes could identify with them and everyone could be brought together under one united campaign. The most stirring of all demands was the demand to abolish salt tax. Salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike and it was an important ingerdient of food. The tax on salt and the government monopoly on its production, Mahatma Gandhi declared, revealed the most oppressive face of the British.
Mahatma Gandhi's letter was in a way an ultimatum. He stated in the letter that if the demands were not fulfilled by 11 March, the congress would laungh a civil disobedience campaign. Irwin was unwilling to negotiate. Hence Mahatma Gandhi along with 78 of his most trusted volunteers started his famous salt march. The volunteers marched from Gandhi's ashram in sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi. The march was about 240 miles, and it took them 24 days to reach their destination. On 6 April, 1930, they reached Dandi, where Mahatma Gandhi ceremonially violated the salt law by evaporating sea water and manufacturing salt.
This marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement
