Dandi Salt March
Act of protest against the British salt tax
Gandhiji and followers walked from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, Gujarat
The march was 200 miles long
March lasted about a month!

Reasons
British government was putting a tax on salt
No Indian could sell salt in their own country

Results
Gandhiji made salt illegally by boiling a lump of mud and salt in seawater
From then on, salt was made illegally by almost everyone
Gandhiji showed the world a new way to protest known as Satyagraha – there was no violence involved
