what happned to india in 1930

In 1930, India was under British colonial rule and was part of the British Empire. The year marked a significant event in India's struggle for independence from British rule. Mahatma Gandhi launched the Civil Disobedience Movement, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, to protest against the British salt tax and other oppressive policies.

As part of the movement, Gandhi led a 241-mile march to the Arabian Sea, where he and his followers famously marched to the coastal town of Dandi and peacefully made salt from seawater in violation of British laws. This act of civil disobedience inspired millions of Indians to join the independence movement and boycott British goods and institutions.

The Salt Satyagraha and the broader Civil Disobedience Movement had a significant impact on the Indian independence struggle, eventually leading to the British government making concessions to Indian demands for greater autonomy. The movement also brought international attention to the plight of Indians under British colonial rule and raised awareness about the need for decolonization in India.
