Gandhiji break the salt law by salt satyagraha or dandi march at the year of 1930

Step-by-step explanation:

  • During the British rule , the British government levied tax on the salt which is found to be a basic and essentially necessary thing for Indians.
  • This made the Indians agitation stronger towards the British government. Gandhiji decided to break the tax on salt by the satyagraha movement.
  • The salt satyagraha or Dandi march is said to be the part of civil disobedience movement.
  • He started marching to Dandi from sabarmati ashram which is now called Navsari (a place in Gujarat ) with his 72 trusted followers.
