“I know the path. It is straight and narrow. It is like the edge of a sword. I rejoice to walk on it”
-M K Gandhi
In 1930, in response to colonial ruler who refused to consider dominion status from India, The Indian National Congress resolved to push for complete freedom by launching non-violence, civil disobedience movement. Gandhi decides to challenge the British monopoly on manufacturing and trade salt in India and the 1400 percentage tax imposed on salt. He called for world sympathy in this battle of 'right against might'. To pick up salt and sell it as a symbolic breaking of salt law, he, along with had picked band of 80 volunteers, marched from Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad, to the sea shore of Dandi in South Gujarat, 389 km away, and rest as say was history.
