The Salt March, which took place from March to April 1930 in India, was an act of civil disobedience led by Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) to protest British rule in India. During the march, thousands of Indians followed Gandhi from his religious retreat near Ahmedabad to the Arabian Sea coast, a distance of some 240 miles. The march resulted in the arrest of nearly 60,000 people, including Gandhi himself. India finally was granted its independence in 1947.

The Dandi March or Salt March was a historic march organised by Mahatma Gandhi in defence of the Salt tax imposed by the British government. After a long March from Sabarmati Ashram, which attracted country wide attention, Gandhiji reached Dandi, a seaside resort on the West Coast on April 5, 1930, and broke the Salt Law. He was arrested and jailed. The Salt Satyagraha, however, assume the aspect of popular movement and unnerved the British government.
