Dandi

Dandi is a village located in the state of Gujarat, India, notable for its role in India’s independence movement. In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi led a historic protest called the Salt March, where he and followers walked approximately 240 miles to Dandi's coast to make salt from seawater, challenging British salt laws. This act symbolized peaceful resistance against colonial rule and inspired widespread civil disobedience across India. Today, Dandi is remembered as a symbol of nonviolent protest and Indian nationalism, attracting visitors interested in its historical significance.
