Question

Why did Mahatma Gandhi start the historic March to Dandi?

Answer 1

Hint:
Mahatma Gandhi embarked on a historic march on March 12, 1930, a salt march from Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat's Ahmedabad to the Village of Dandi.

The Salt March was a historically significant 24-day Salt March, non-violent in nature, although it contributed to the widespread Civil Disobedience Movement.

Complete answer:
The Dandi March or the Salt March was done in Gujarat's Ahmedabad state's coastal area; this March was done against the British's steep tax levied on salt. This was a significant March known as Dandi March or Salt March and referred to as Salt Satyagraha.

This March was non-violent and historically significant. It led to the mass civil disobedience Movement; this was a 24-day Salt March and started on March 12, 1930, and continued till April 6, 1930. Mahatma Gandhi led this March.

After reaching the seashore in Dandi, Mahatma Gandhi broke the law by producing illegal salt; this turned into a Civil Disobedience Movement throughout India. After this, millions broke salt, either purchasing an illegal salt or making a salt.

This March got its national and international level; it shocked the British because of its non-violent nature. It got the world's attention and drew massive press coverage towards the Indian Independence Movement.

Note
Initially, the salt March began with just 80 people, but as more and more people joined, it grew into a strong force of 50,000 people. They took a 390 km long journey. Against the British tyranny, this March was a collective beginning of a mass resistance movement.
