Gandhi's Defiant Declaration Against British Rule

April 6th, 1930 94 years ago

Mahatma Gandhi led the Salt March, an act of civil disobedience against British colonial laws prohibiting the production of salt. The march began in March 1930 and concluded at the Arabian Sea coast, where Gandhi raised a lump of salt and mud, declaring that he was shaking the foundations of the British Empire. This symbolic act represented a turning point in India's struggle for independence and inspired movements worldwide demanding rights and justice.
