Salt March (Dandi March)

The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March, was a significant nonviolent protest in India in 1930 led by Mahatma Gandhi. It was a 240-mile journey from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi, symbolizing resistance against British colonial laws that restricted Indians from producing or selling salt. By making salt illegally, protesters challenged British economic control and sparked a nationwide movement for independence. This act of civil disobedience inspired millions and drew global attention to India's struggle for freedom, highlighting the power of peaceful protest against unjust rule.
