The Salt March, also known as Salt Satyagraha, Dandi March, or Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of direct peace action in colonial India led by Mahatma Gandhi. His 24-day march from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 was conducted as an immediate action campaign of monetary resistance and coordinated protest against the British people's salt monopoly. Another excuse for this march is that the direct action movement needed a strong start to encourage more people to follow Gandhi's example.

The march spanned 385 kilo meters from Sabarmati He Ashram to Dandi (then called Navsari (now Gujarat)). More and more Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Salt Law at 8:30 am on his 6th April 1930, it sparked direct and large-scale action against the Salt Law by countless Indians.

After extracting the salt by evaporation at Dandi, Gandhi continued south along the coast, making salt and conversing with the community along the way. The Congress party planned Satyagraha at Saleen Dara Sana, 40 kilo meters south of Dandi. But Gandhi said he was arrested in the dark on May 4, 1930 and he was on the 5th. It was a few days before the planned action in Dhara sana. The following Dandy March and Dhara Sana His Satyagraha were widely reported in newspapers and newsreels and brought India's independence movement to the world's attention.

Satyagraha opposed the salt tax for his year, which ended with Gandhi being released from prison and negotiating with Governor Irwin at a second roundtable. Salt His Satyagraha led to the imprisonment of over 60,000 Indians, but the country did not immediately make major concessions.
