Salt Satyagraha from "summary" of India's Struggle for Independence by Bipan Chandra,Mridula Mukherjee,Aditya Mukherjee,K N Panikkar,Sucheta Mahajan
Salt Satyagraha was a revolutionary movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 against the British salt monopoly. The British had imposed a tax on salt, which was a vital commodity for the Indian people. Gandhi saw this as an opportunity to mobilize the masses in a non-violent protest against British rule. The Salt Satyagraha was a powerful weapon in the hands of the Indian National Congress to challenge British authority. Gandhi, along with a group of followers, embarked on a 240-mile march to the Arabian Sea to make salt from the seawater, in defiance of the British law. This act of civil disobedience inspired millions of Indians to join the movement and defy the salt tax. The Salt Satyagraha was not just about breaking a law but about challenging the unjust and oppressive British rule in India. The Salt Satyagraha was a strategic move by Gandhi to unite the diverse population of India against a common enemy. It brought together people from different backgrounds, regions, and religions in a unified struggle for independence. The movement gained international attention and support, putting pressure on the British government to reconsider its policies in India. The Salt Satyagraha was a turning point in the Indian independence movement, marking the beginning of a new phase of mass mobilization and non-cooperation with British authorities. It demonstrated the power of non-violent resistance in achieving political objectives and inspired similar movements around the world. Gandhi's leadership and commitment to non-violence were instrumental in the success of the Salt Satyagraha and its impact on the Indian freedom struggle.
