Why did Britain make a law that forbid Indians from buying salt?

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."


Why did Gandhi choose to break the salt law?

Let's Try.. Mahatma Gandhi with other nationalists reasoned that it was sinful to tax salt since it is such an essential item of our food. In 1930, Gandhiji declared that he would lead a march to break the salt law. According to this law, the state had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt. He led a march, to the coastal town of Dandi, where he broke the salt law by gathering natural salt found on the seashore, and boiling sea water to produce salt. That's it..its from the ncert textbook :)


Why did walk the salt march?

Because the Indians wanted to prove that they did not need the British to supply them with the resources they need for their country.


What did colonial butchers do?

What was the purpose of dandi march?

During the colonial rule in India, the British government imposed heavy taxes on everything including the cheapest and most important item of Indian salt. It was illegal to make salt without authorization. Mahatma Gandhi encouraged Indians to break the Salt tax law in order to involve Indian masses, including the poor, to defy the oppressive law imposed by British government.
