Gandhi started this march with 78 of his trusted volunteers. The march spanned , from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, which was called Navsari at that time (now in the state of Gujarat). Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way.

Dharasana Satyagraha
Dharasana Satyagraha was a protest against the British salt tax in colonial India in May 1930. Following the conclusion of the Salt March to Dandi, Mahatma Gandhi chose a non-violent raid of the Dharasana Salt Works in Gujarat as the next protest against British rule. Hundreds of satyagrahis were beaten by soldiers under British command at Dharasana.

Background The Indian National Congress, led by Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, publicly issued the Decla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
