Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12th March 1930

The correct answer is 12th March 1930.

 

  •  On March 12, 1930, Mahatma Gandhi embarked a historic Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat's Ahmedabad to the village of Dandi in the state's coastal area to protest against the steep tax the British levied on salt.
  •  The significant march came to be known as Dandi March or Salt March, also referred to as the Dandi Satyagraha.
  • The Salt March was a 24-day Salt March, which was non-violent in nature, is historically significant as it led to the mass Civil Disobedience Movement.
  • The Salt March began on March 12, 1930, and continued till April 6, 1930. 
  • During that time, the British had prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt.
  • Indians were also forced to buy the staple diet ingredient from the British, who, not only exercised a monopoly over its manufacture and sale but also levied a heavy salt tax.
  • The Salt March was a collective beginning of a mass resistance movement against the British tyranny.
  •  Upon reaching the seashore in Dandi, Mahatma Gandhi broke the law by producing illegal salt.
  • This later turned into a mass civil disobedience movement throughout India as millions broke salt laws by either making salt or buying illegal salt.
  •  The Salt March began with around 80 people, but as more and more people joined in for the 390 km-long journey, it grew into a strong force of 50,000 people.
