Addresses Disobedience Followers Gandhi Indians Mahatma Mass Mohandas Protest Salt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the moment of defiance and determination as Mahatma Gandhi addresses his devoted followers at Dandi on April 6, 1930. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi Salt March or Satyagraha, was a mass civil disobedience movement against the British salt tax, a symbol of colonial oppression in India. Gandhi, dressed in his simple white dhoti and shawl, with his cloak drawn over his head against the sun, holds his staff firmly in hand. His intense gaze and the set of his jaw convey a sense of unwavering resolve. Surrounding him are thousands of Indians, united in their commitment to nonviolent resistance. The sea of faces, filled with hope and defiance, underscores the magnitude of the movement. The Salt March marked a turning point in India's struggle for independence from British rule. Gandhi led a 24-day march from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, where he symbolically defied the salt tax by collecting salt from the seashore. This act of civil disobedience sparked a wave of protests and arrests across India, galvanizing the Indian independence movement and inspiring similar civil disobedience campaigns around the world. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian people in their quest for freedom and self-rule. It stands as a testament to the power of nonviolent resistance and the indomitable human spirit.
