Answer» The\xa0Salt March, which took place from\xa0March\xa0to April 1930 in India, was an act of civil disobedience led by Mohandas Gandhi to protest British rule in India. During the\xa0march, thousands of Indians followed Gandhi from his religious retreat near Ahmedabad to the Arabian Sea coast, a distance of some 240 miles.\xa0Since the late-1910s, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had been at the forefront of India’s quest to shake off the yoke of British colonial domination, otherwise known as the “Raj.” The thin and abstemious former lawyer had led civil disobedience against colonial policies, encouraged Indians to boycott British goods, and had served two years in prison on charges of sedition.\xa0
