Detailed explanation-1: -Gandhi used Satyagraha which was based on the principle of non-violence and non-cooperation for his resistance against British and their legislations. The Civil-Disobedience movement and Dandi march are some of the main contributions of Gandhi.

Detailed explanation-2: -On March 12, 1930, Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi begins a defiant march to the sea in protest of the British monopoly on salt, his boldest act of civil disobedience yet against British rule in India. Britain’s Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in the Indian diet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gandhi called it “satyagraha” which means ‘truth force. ‘ In this doctrine the aim of any non-violent conflict was to convert the opponent; to win over his mind and his heart and pursuade him to your point of view.

Detailed explanation-4: -Satyagraha is meant to overcome all methods of violence. Gandhi explained in a letter to Lord Hunter that Satyagraha is a movement based entirely upon truth. It replaces every form of violence, direct and indirect, veiled and unveiled and whether in thought, word or deed. Satyagraha is for the strong in spirit.
