About Dandi Beach
Dandi Beach is historically significant because it was the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s salt satyagraha from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi. This is the beach where, following the Salt March, Mahatma Gandhi violated the British salt tax law.
Dandi Beach History
Dandi had a significant historical role in India’s struggle for independence from British rule. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi started the Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, which was an act of civil disobedience in colonial India. All locals’ operations to produce salt were ruled illegal once the British government instituted a salt tax, which was a gross violation of the people’s rights. In 1930, Dandi became famous and earned historical significance when Mahatma Gandhi decided to stage a protest there against the imposition of a salt tax.
On March 12, 1930, Mahatma Gandhi and a group of 78 persons started the march in Sabarmati, Ahmedabad. The 24-day period ended on April 6, 1930. As the march went on, word of the protest spread throughout the nation, and Mahatma Gandhi was joined by supporters from all over India.
By the time they arrived in Dandi, thousands of supporters had gathered to protest the ridiculous tax on salt. When the Satyagrahis arrived at Dandi, Mahatma Gandhi produced salt from the Arabian Sea and spoke to his supporters, encouraging them to use this action to achieve Purna Swaraj (Complete Sovereignty and Self-Rule). The march inspired a Civil Disobedience Movement that spread across the nation and served as the foundation for India’s independence from British rule.
