- MAHATMA Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation.
- On 31 January, 1930 he sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin stating eleven demands.
- The most stirring demands was to abolish the salt tax.
- Salt was one of the most essential food items consumed by the rich and poor alike and a tax on it was considered as an oppression on the people by the British government.
- Mahatma Gandhiji’s letter was an ultimatum. If his demands were not fulfilled by 11 March, he had to launch a Civil Disobedience Campaign.
- So, Mahatma Gandhi started Salt March accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers.
- The March was over 240 miles, from Gandhiji’s ashram - Sabarmati to Dandi.
- The volunteers walked for 24 days. Thousands came to hear Mahatma Gandhi wherever he stopped.
- On 6th April, he reached Dandi and ceremonial violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
- This was the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
