Evaluate the significance of salt satyagraha.

Answer»

Gandhi gave top priority to reducing salt tax due to a variety of reasons. The reasons why Gandhiji selected salt on a powerful weapon against the British are.

  • Salt tax constituted two fifth portion of the income collected by the British through taxes.
  • This tax was a heavy burden for the poor people.
  • The British government banned small scale indigenous salt production.
  • There was three fold hike on salt price. 
  • The demand for lifting salt tax was a slogan suitable to inspire all segments of the society.

Inspired by the call of Gandhiji people in various parts of the country started to produce salt on their own, violating the British regulations.
