SALT MARCH 1. The famous Salt or Dandi March began by Mahatma Gandhi accompanied by 78 of his trusted volunteers on March 12, 1930. 2. The march was over 240 miles, from Gandhiji’s ashram in Sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi. 3. The volunteers walked for 24 days, about 10 miles a day. 4. On 6th April 1930, Gandhiji reached Dandi, a village in Gujarat and broke the 5. Salt Law by boiling water and manufacturing salt. 7. Thus, began the Civil Disobedience Movement. CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT 1. It was different from Non-Cooperation Movement as people were now asked not only to refuse cooperation with the British as they had done in 1921-22 but also to break colonial laws. 2. Boycott of foreign goods, non-payment of taxes, and breaking forest laws were its main features. 3. The movement spread across the world and salt law was broken in different parts of the country
