Today in History-Dandi March: A Salty Path to Freedom

New Delhi 6th April  (VNI) On April 6, 1930, after a determined 24-day journey, Mahatma Gandhi reached the coastal village of Dandi and defiantly picked up a lump of salt, breaking British law. This simple act ignited a nationwide wave of civil disobedience, uniting Indians across castes and communities. The Dandi March became a turning point in India’s freedom struggle, proving the power of nonviolence against colonial oppression and inspiring future movements across the world.
