1 Salt March
The Salt March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, Dandi March, and the Dandi Satyagraha,
was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India, led by Mahatma Gandhi. The 24-day
march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance
and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly.

1.1 History
Mahatma Gandhi is the most popular figure related to this type of protest; the United Nations cel-
ebrates Gandhi’s birthday, October 2, as the International Day of Non-Violence. Other prominent
advocates include Abdul Ghaffar Khan and many others.

1.2 About
Research shows that nonviolent campaigns diffuse spatially. Information on nonviolent resistance
in one country could significantly affect nonviolent activism in other countries.

2 Mahatma Gandhi
Legislation passed by the Imperial Legislative Council, the legislature of British India, allowed
certain political cases to be tried without juries and permitted internment of suspects without
trial.

2.1 Info
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-
colonial nationalist, and political ethicist.

2.2 About
Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, Gandhi trained in law at the Inner Temple
in London and was called to the bar in June 1891, at the age of 22. After two uncertain years in
India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice.
