Dandi March Initiated Civil Disobedience Movement
The Dandi March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was a significant act of nonviolent civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Starting on March 12, 1930, the march culminated in Dandi where Gandhi broke the British salt laws. This event directly triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement across India.
Distinguishing from Other Movements:
- Non Co-operation Movement: This movement took place earlier, from 1920-1922.
- Quit India Movement: Launched much later, in 1942, during the Second World War.
- Champaran Movement: Occurred in 1917, focusing on agrarian issues in Bihar, and predates the Dandi March significantly.
The Dandi March is therefore intrinsically linked as the starting point of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
