Hello everyone, on friday of #LoveBeautyFreedom I want to talk to you about somenthing that happen In March 1930 and was the first act in an even-larger campaing of civil disobedience in the world.
The Salt march also called Salt Satyagraha was a major nonviolent protest action in India led by Gandhi against British rule that extended into early 1931.
The production and distribution of Salt was monopolized by the British through a series of laws that prohibited to Indian people produce or sell salt independently; forcing Indians to buy expensive, heavily taxed salt that often was imported.
This laws and regulations had a great impact on Indians, so they began protests against the salt tax that began in the 19th century and remained throughout the period of British rule.
In 1930 Gandhi decided to show a visible demonstration against the salt tax by marching through western Indian state of Gujarat from his ashram (religious retreat) at Sabermati to the town of Dandi on the Arabian Sea coast.
The march was to set on foot on March 12, accompanied by dozen followers. Everyday the group stopped in different places along the way and larger crowds would gather to hear Gandhi speech.
More people would join the group of followers as they made their way to Dandi, reaching their destination on April 5 after a long walk of some 240 miles (385 km).
The next morning of April 6, Gandhi picked up handfuls of salt along the shore, thus technically “producing” salt and breaking the law.
the satyagraha against the salt tax continue for the next two months, exhorting other to break the salt laws by committing acts of civil disobedience. Hundreds were arrested and imprisoned, including Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi himself. News of Gandhi’s detention motivated tens of thousands more to join the satyagraha.
Another march was done on May 21, led by the poet Sarojini Naidu, and 2,500 peaceful marchers were attacked and beaten by police. By the end of that year 60,000 people were in jail.
Gandhi was released in January 1931 and began negotiations with the british to end the satyagraha campaign. This was one of the steps that led the way for Gandhi, representing the Indian National Congress, to attend the second session (September–December 1931) of the Round Table Conference in London.
