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."
