Explanation:
1. Mahatma Gandhi had sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin on 31January 1930, stating eleven demands which were to be accepted and fulfilled immediately. Some of these demands were of general interest, while the rest were specific of different classes, from industrialists to the peasants.
2. Gandhiji had put forward a wide range of demands with a unique idea of bringing people of different classes under the common umbrella of a united campaign.
3. Among these demands, the most stirring was the demand to abolish the salt tax. According to the salt law, the British enjoyed a monopoly over the production of salt and levied a tax on it.
4. Salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike, and it was among the essential items of food. A tax on salt and government monopoly over its production was considered the most oppressive forms of British rule.
5. The letter sent by Gandhiji was an ultimatum to the government. If the demands were not fulfilled, Gandhiji further threatened to launch a Civil Disobedience Campaign against the British Raj. The breaking of the salt law after 24 days at the The coast of Dandi marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
