Hint:

The Salt Satyagraha highlighted the power of nonviolent resistance and mass mobilization, both central to Gandhi’s leadership in the independence movement.

Answer 1

Mahatma Gandhi's Salt Satyagraha in 1930 was a key moment in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Gandhi's challenge to the British salt monopoly galvanized millions and encouraged a broad spectrum of Indian society to participate in the independence movement. This unified diverse groups, broadening and making more inclusive the struggle against colonial governance. It represented a significant increase in mass involvement in India's fight for freedom.
