In early 1930, the Indian National Congress chose civil disobedience as their main tactic for winning India's independence from the British rule. It appointed Gandhi to organise the campaign. The Salt Satyagraha was a campaign of non-violent protests against the British salt tax. It began with the Salt March on 12th March, 1930. This was the first act of organised opposition to British rule after Poorna Swaraj. Mahatma Gandhi led the Dandi March from his Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, Gujarat to make salt. He was joined with growing numbers of Indians along the way. Here Gandhiji collected a handful of salt from the seashore and broke the salt law. This march from Sabarmati to Dandi is called 'Dandi March'.
