Dandi March (1930)

On the Indian independence map as “Dandi — the salt is lifted”

6 Apr 1930 — Gandhi had walked 240 miles over 24 days when he reached the shore and picked up a handful of salt mud before the world’s cameras. Within weeks, some 60,000 people were jailed for making salt. The tax was trivial, but the act made it the focus of a spectacle seen around the world.
