Mahatma Gandhi and Sarojini Naidu, with a garland, during the Salt March protesting against the government monopoly on salt production in 1930.

The Salt March also known as the Dandi March was an act of civil disobedience led by the Mahatma.
Thousands of Indians followed him from Ahmedabad to the coast, a distance of some 240 miles.
The march resulted in the arrest of nearly 60,000 people, including Gandhi.
Britain had kept India's salt trade under its thumb since the 19th century, forbidding natives from manufacturing or selling it and forcing them to buy it at high cost from British merchants.
Since salt was a nutritional necessity , Gandhi saw the salt laws as an inexcusable evil.
