Answer 2

Answer:

• Salt march was the begining of the civil disobedience movement. Mahatma gandhi believed that salt could be be a powerful symbol to unite the whole nation.
• Most of the people including the british scoffed at the idea. Abolition of the salt tax was the most stirring of all demands. The salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike, and it was one of the most essential items of food. Abolition of the salt tax was among many demands which were  raised by Gandhiji through a letter to Viceroy Irwin.
• mahatma gandhi's letter in a way was the ultimatum. Irwin was unwilling to negotiate.  So, mahatma gandhi started his famous salt march accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers. the march was over 240 miles, from gandhiji's ashram in sabarmati to the gujrati coastal town of dandi.
• the volunteers walked for 24 days about 10 miles a day. Thousands came to hear Mahatma gandhi wherever he stopped, and told them what he meant by swaraj.
• He urged them to peacefully defy the british. On 6 April he reached Dandi and ceremonially violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
