WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The push for Indians to give up buying British textiles and to make their own clothes was called the Homespun Movement. Gandhi led the movement by example. He made all of his own clothing and carried a portable spinning wheel with him so he could continue the practice while traveling.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fact that Indians were not permitted to freely collect salt from natural deposits or to pan for salt from the sea was a clear illustration of how a foreign power was unjustly profiting from the subcontinent’s people and its resources. Since the tax affected everyone, the grievance was universally felt.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Salt Satyagraha was a mass civil disobedience movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi against the salt tax imposed by the British government in India. He led a large group of people from Sabarmati Ashram on 12th March 1930 till Dandi, a coastal village in Gujarat, to break the salt law by producing salt from seawater.

Detailed explanation-4: -The salt march or the Dandi march was a great example of civil disobedience because the Indians wanted to boycott the Salt Act of 1882 which had given the British the sole right of manufacturing salt. If anybody else made salt, it would be confiscated and the person would be sentenced to six months imprisonment.
