The British only wanted the Indians to buy salt from them which was heavily taxed. Of course most of the Indian population could not afford it and salt was a big necessity for Indians at the time, everyone mostly used it. Gandhi said, "Next to air and water, salt is perhaps the greatest necessity of life."
Basically because Britain would jail and Indian that picked up salt and sometimes beat them and this became known globally and Britain was basically peer pressured by other countries into giving Indians more freedom.
Yes the Indians did have salt.
When Gandhi was walking to the sea with at first around 70 people but as he was marching he ending up with thousands of people. They were marching to the sea where on the shore were tons of salt just gathered in piles, but that was illegal for Indians to get salt and sell it, or use it. Britain wanted to sell it themeselves so they could make money. At first the British didnt respond until one day in market they came in on horses and beat most people down , and took who ever theywanted to jail for either buying salt , collecting salt, or selling salt. Hope that helped you .
Britain actually imports its salt from countries that have the correct growth needs for salt. - - - - - Salt is a rock. It doesn't grow. And over half of Britain's salt needs are met through salt mines in England.
Seas with no salt in them do not surround Britain.
Gandhi's salt march was successful- Britain made reforms that, while they did not give total freedom, gave limited rights to Indians. Two of them were local self governments, and local elections.
You can find it in the underground salt mines in England
