(i) Salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike and was one of the most essential food items. 

(ii) The tax on salt and the government monopoly over its production revealed the most oppressive face of the British. 

(iii) Mahatma thought that an ordinary thing like salt could give the movement a grand success which would ultimately dethrone the foreign rule.
