Salt or dandi march began on March 12,1930. On 6 April 1930 Gandhiji reached dandia, a village in Gujarat and broke the salt law by boiling water and manufacturing salt. because salt was the most stirring of all was the demand to abolish the salt tax. Salt was something consumed by the rich and poor alike, and it was one of the most essential items of food. The tax on salt and the government monopoly over its production, Mahatma Gandhi declared, revealed the most oppressive face of British rule.
