The Salt March undertaken by Mohandas K. Gandhi, the Mahatma and his band of 78 handpicked marchers was one of the most inspiring events in the history of the freedom movement of India. This battle of “right against might”, as Gandhiji described the Salt Satyagraha, truth force, inspires people and movements for rights, justice and freedom around the world even today, 75 years later. Mahatma Gandhi and his band of marchers walked 241 miles in 24 days and made a permanent place for themselves in history.

The simplicity of the action and the honesty with which it was executed left their opponents, the British colonial power, bewildered and defenceless. Although in the aftermath a brutal campaign to crush the Salt Satyagraha was unleashed by the colonisers, they failed to curb the spirit of the Satyagrahis, soldiers of truth. The world sympathised with this just cause and admired the courage of its honest and nonviolent foot soldiers.

In this section we have tried to provide as much multi media information as we could gather about the March to Dandi and the Salt Satyagraha of 1930. One of the most inspiring episodes of the nonviolent battle for India’s freedom.
