Mahatma Gandhi was a pivotal figure in the country’s liberation from British colonial authority. He spearheaded a number of movements, including the non-cooperation movement, the Khilafat movement, and the Quit India movement, among others. The Salt March was one such movement that had a significant impact on the history of the Indian liberation fight. On March 12, 1930, the Salt March, also known as the Dandi March, began.
The march was organized by Mahatma Gandhi from his Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad to the village of Dandi in the state’s coastal area.
