Gandhi launched the Civil Disobedience Movement on March 12, 1930, with his well-known Dandi March. On April 6, Gandhi Ji arrived at Dandi, took up a handful of salt, and broke the salt prohibition as a symbol of the Indian people's rejection to live under British-made rules, and therefore under British tyranny. On March 12, 1930, Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi begins a daring march to the sea in protest of the British salt monopoly, his most audacious act of civil disobedience against British authority in India to that point. The Salt Acts of the United Kingdom restricted Indians from gathering or selling salt, a component of the Indian cuisine.
