Breaking the salt rule


Dandi march satyagrahis defy the law by making salt in Surat. It was a non-violent strategy adopted by Mahatma Gandhi to oppose British rule in India. The British were forced to arrest the satyagrahis. Millions of Indians courted arrest. It created panic in the British administration and India's freedom struggle finally gathered momentum, inside India and overseas.
