Question

Why did Mahatma Gandhi start his historic march to Dandi?

Answer 1

The Second Civil Disobedience Movement was started by Gandhi on 12th March 1930 with his famous Dandi March. Together with 78 chosen followers, Gandhi walked nearly 200 miles from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a village on the Gujarat sea-coast. There Gandhi and his followers made salt in violation of the salt laws. This was in response to the British introduction of taxation on salt production, deemed the sea-salt reclamation activities illegal, and the repeated use of force to stop it.
