Question

Dandi Yatra was undertaken by Mahatma Gandhi____?
A)To break the salt law
B)To resolve the dispute among male workers
C)To press the demand for Poorna Swaraj
D)To start a Satyagraha

Answer 1

Hint:Dandi March was started on 12 March 1930 from Sabarmati Ashram Gujarat towards the small village of Dandi. On his way many people joined him which led to large movement .

Complete answer:
In order to systematize the regulations over the supply of salt, the British passed the India Salt Act in 1882. This helped the government to syndicate on the manufacture of salt. Salt could be only manufactured and managed by the British depots. By this salt rates were high and poor people were not able to afford it. Now let's see the options:-

To break the Salt Law- In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi started a non violent protest against the repressive salt law as he thought that it was sinful to tax salt since it is such an essential item of our food. Therefore it is the correct option.
To resolve the dispute among the male workers- There wasn't any significant dispute between workers ,on the contrary the workers were united against the British rule. Hence this is an incorrect answer.
To press the demand for Poorna Swaraj- The demand for Poorna Swaraj was pressed in the Non cooperation movement . Hence this is an incorrect answer.
To start a satyagraha- The Dandi March was a satyagraha itself demanding to lower the prices of salt in India as it is an essential item in our food. Therefore it is the incorrect option.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) To break the Salt Law.

Note:Soon after the Dandi March, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested. The Satyagraha is not only for the salt law but also to promote the Indians to stand up for their rights and freedom which ultimately led to Civil Disobedience movement in 1930.
