One of the momentous events in the history of Indian struggle for independence was the Dandi Salt March, launched under the unparalleled leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. With this historic event, the Civil Disobedience was formally introduced on a nationwide basis. Within the context of the Indian freedom struggle, the Dandi Salt March holds a place of paramount importance. The entire nation coalesced under the call of a single man, internalizing the cherished doctrines of ahimsa or non-violence, and satyagraha or passive resistance. With an awakened political consciousness, all segments of the Indian community plunged into a battle, which till date is an instance of the indefatigable power of civilian resistance.
