The salt Satyagraha of 1930 was a direct civil disobedience movement against which British policy?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The British monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt.
The Salt Satyagraha of 1930, initiated by Mahatma Gandhi with the historic Dandi March, was a non-violent protest against the British salt monopoly. Under the 1882 Salt Act, the British government prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a basic necessity, and imposed a heavy salt tax. By making salt at the Dandi coast, Gandhi defied these unjust laws. This act of civil disobedience aimed to unite all sections of Indian society against colonial exploitation and marked a turning point in the Indian independence movement.
