Mahatma Gandhi played a crucial role in making the country free from British colonial rule. He led various movements such as non-cooperation movement, Khilafat movement, Quit India movement and so on. One such movement which played an important role in shaping the history of the Indian freedom struggle was Salt March. Salt March, popularly known as Dandi March, was started on March 12, 1930.
The march was organised by Mahatma Gandhi from his Sabarmati Ashram in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad to the village of Dandi in the state’s coastal area.
