The Dandi March, led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, became a symbol of resistance against British colonial rule and marked a significant chapter in the nation’s freedom struggle.
In a heartfelt message, Prime Minister Modi expressed deep admiration for the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to truth and non-violence demonstrated by those who took part in the Dandi March. He emphasized that this iconic event sparked a nationwide movement for self-reliance and independence, inspiring generations of Indians.
The Prime Minister took to social media to share his tribute, posting on X (formerly Twitter):
“Today, we pay homage to all those who participated in the historic Dandi March, a defining chapter in India’s freedom struggle. Led by Mahatma Gandhi, this March ignited a nationwide movement for self-reliance and independence. The courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to truth and non-violence of all those who took part in the Dandi March continue to inspire generations.”
The Dandi March, a 240-mile journey led by Mahatma Gandhi from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal town of Dandi, played a crucial role in challenging British rule and their salt taxes. It not only galvanized the Indian masses but also brought international attention to India’s quest for independence.
