The Salt Satyagraha

Explanation:

• Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation because salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike, and it was one of the most essential items of food.
• Gandhiji found in salt a powerful symbol that could bind the Nation. Salt was something that the rich and poor used alike and it was also the most essential ingredient in food. By choosing abolition of the salt tax as the most important demand, Gandhiji made sure that all sections of the society (poor,rich,high cast,low caste etc.) recognised the idea and participated actively in the civil disobedience movement.

• The tax on salt and the government monopoly over its production led Gandhiji to choose abolition of salt tax as the most important demand of civil disobedience movement.
• As Viceroy Irwin was unwilling to negotiate the demands of Gandhiji, he launched civil disobedience campaign with famous salt march accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers.
• Mahatma Gandhi chose salt as an active ingredient of the movement because to make salt from sea water the Indians had to pay taxes. As sea water is a natural resource so he adopted this and also salt was used by everyone whether rich or poor.
• Mahatma Gandhi took sea water with other peoples without paying taxes.
