Question:

C Rajagopalachari led the Salt Satyagraha in which of the following states?

Options:

Rajasthan

Maharashtra

Gujarat

Tamil Nadu

Correct Answer:

Tamil Nadu

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Tamil Nadu

C Rajagopalachari led the Salt Satyagraha in Tamil Nadu.

Inspired by the Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi, Rajagopalachari led a group of 150 volunteers on a 240-kilometer march from Tiruchirappalli to Vedaranyam, where they made salt from seawater in April 1930. This act of civil disobedience was a powerful protest against the British salt monopoly, which forced Indians to pay high taxes on a basic necessity.

The Salt Satyagraha was a major turning point in the Indian independence movement. It helped to galvanize public support for the cause of freedom and showed the British that Indians were willing to make sacrifices for their rights.
