Yatri Nivas

“Satyagraha” means holding firmly to truth. It was Gandhi’s idea of fighting injustice through non-violence and peaceful resistance.

The British controlled salt production and forced Indians to buy heavily taxed salt. Indians were not allowed to make their own salt, even from the sea in their own country.

Many people organized local protests, made salt illegally, boycotted British goods, and joined civil disobedience movements in their own towns.

Yes. Thousands of women joined protests, made salt, and led demonstrations. It was one of the first movements where women participated on a large scale.

It was a nationwide movement started by Gandhi where Indians peacefully broke unfair British laws to demand independence.

International newspapers reported the march widely. It brought global attention and sympathy to India’s freedom struggle.

Gandhi was arrested in May 1930, but protests continued across India.

It was an agreement in 1931 between Gandhi and the British government that temporarily stopped the Civil Disobedience Movement and released political prisoners.

Walking allowed him to meet villagers, spread his message directly, and inspire ordinary people to join the movement.

It teaches the power of unity, peaceful protest, courage, and standing up against injustice without violence.

It awakened political awareness in villages. Many farmers and workers became active participants in the freedom struggle.

It is a symbol of India’s fight for freedom and a reminder that peaceful action can create big change.
