Dandi March and Salt Satyagraha — Revision Notes

⚡ 30-Second Revision

12 March 1930: Sabarmati departure.
6 April: salt-law violation at Dandi.
Civil disobedience deliberately breaches law
the march is the opening act, not the entire campaign.

2-Minute Revision

Salt made colonial regulation visible in daily life. The journey built attention; the public breach challenged legal authority. Wider mobilisation depended on local organisation and responses to repression, so the symbol and the campaign must be analysed together.

5-Minute Revision

Explain Dandi without using the words “historic” or “iconic.” Include the commodity, legal restriction, deliberate action and wider political claim. Then add one sentence identifying a consequence that cannot be inferred merely from Gandhi breaking the law.

Vyyuha Quick Recall

SLAM: Salt, Law, Action, Mobilisation — the chain from daily necessity to national politics.
