Q. What was the Salt March?
Top Answer
Solution:
The Salt March was a protest against the salt tax imposed by the British in India. The British made salt expensive by placing a heavy tax on it, which made it difficult for common people to afford it.
Since salt was essential for everyone, Gandhi decided to oppose this unfair tax. He organized a peaceful march from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, where he and his followers made their own salt by picking it from the shore, breaking British law.
