Salt march
The Salt March. This is a march that was done by mahatma Gandhi to stop salt tax.
The Salt March was one of the most famous early acts of civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi. It was part of India’s protest to gain independence from Britain. The Salt Act prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, forcing them to buy from the British. This was a big problem as the British put a heavy tax on the salt. This hurts Indians as salt is considered a necessity for cooking. His resistance to the Salt Act started a campaign of mass civil disobedience called Satyagraha.
In 1930, Gandhi and 79 of his followers started to walk towards Dandi, a distance of 240 miles. During the 24 days of the march he spoke with thousands of people convincing them to join the march. When he reached the coast he started to collect salt in defiance of the law. Gandhi was arrested along with roughly 60,000 other Indians.
He was released from prison a year later and started to negotiate with Britain. Eventually he agreed to call off the satyagraha in exchange for an equal negotiating role at a conference on India’s future.

Satyagraha, negotiate, independence, 60,000, Mahatma Gandhi, tax, disobedience |
My opinion:
In my opinion what Mahatma Gandhi did with the Salt March was brave even though it took him a month. He was probably very tired and sore but he persevered. I think this because he made sure he would not return till he had salt to stop the British government from taxing salt tax. My evidence for this is he was annoyed that the british was chrageing them tax for salt. He wanted to find the salt because he wanted legitmactiy for no salt tax. In conclusion Mahatma Gandhi did this against the salt tax imposed by the British government in India.
