Answers
Answer:
Ok
Explanation:
On 12 March 1930, Gandhi started the Dandi march from Sabarmati Ashram towards the small coastal village of Dandi. He marched against the state monopoly in manufacturing and selling of salt. Gandhi chose salt because it was used in every Indian household, yet people were not allowed to make salt even for domestic use.
Answer:
Dandi March or Salt March (also known as Satyagraha) was led by Mahatma Gandhi and was non-violent. He started the Non-violence Movement to protest British rule and free India without violence and shed blood.
The 1882 Salt Act gave the British a monopoly on the collection and manufacture of salt. Indians were not permitted to collect salt and violation of the Salt Act was a criminal offense. The Salt March was an act of civil disobedience led by Gandhi to protest the British salt tax and the British rule in India.
The place where Gandhi started the Dandi March was Dandi, a seaside village in Gujarat. On 12th March 1930, Gandhi decided to march the full distance of 241 miles, from his Sabarmati Ashram at Ahmedabad. Gandhi was accompanied by his co-workers but on the way, thousands more people joined the march. The Dandi March resulted in the arrest of nearly 60,000 people, including Gandhi himself. But the movement continued. The Indian independence movement gained momentum as more followers joined the movement.
