The Salt March, led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, was significant as a pivotal act of civil disobedience against British colonial rule in India. Gandhi and his followers marched approximately 240 miles to the Arabian Sea to produce salt from seawater, defying British laws that imposed a salt tax and monopolized salt production. This nonviolent resistance galvanized widespread Indian participation in the struggle for independence, highlighting the injustice of colonial regulations. The Salt March not only drew international attention to India’s independence movement but also marked a key moment in Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent protest, empowering countless Indians to challenge oppression.
