The Salt March was a nonviolent campaign of Gandhi.
Salt Tax
- the British made it illegal for the Indians to collect the natural deposits of salt.
- due to India’s weather, the citizens sweat and lose more of the human body’s salt supply. Indians didn’t eat much meat (natural source of salt) so they needed to find a supplementary source of salt. Thus, the British imposed the salt tax to control the Indians.
