Detailed explanation-1: -Defying the Salt Act, Gandhi reasoned, would be an ingeniously simple way for many Indians to break a British law nonviolently. Gandhi declared resistance to British salt policies to be the unifying theme for his new campaign of “satyagraha, ‘’ or mass civil disobedience.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salt Satyagraha was one of the major non-violent protests in the history of India’s freedom struggle. Led by Mahatma Gandhi, the protest started around March-April 1930 with around 80 people. The purpose of this protest was to protest the salt tax imposed by the British government in India.
Detailed explanation-3: -The British were slow to react at first, allowing more Indians to join in the protest. As salt making spread, and the British responded brutally, the empire’s facade of civility slipped and then fell away entirely.
