Practicing Success
Read the passage and answer the question: Soon after the observance of this “Independence Day”, Mahatma Gandhi announced that he would lead a march to break one of the most widely disliked laws in British India, which gave the state a monopoly in the manufacture and sale of salt. His picking on the salt monopoly was another illustration of Gandhiji’s tactical wisdom. For in every Indian household, salt was indispensable; yet people were forbidden from making salt even for domestic use, compelling them to buy it from shops at a high price. The state monopoly over salt was deeply unpopular; by making it his target, Gandhiji hoped to mobilize a wider discontent against British rule. |
At which place did the Salt March come to an end? |
Sabarmati Ashram. Dandi Coast. Poona. Kheda. |
Dandi Coast. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - Dandi Coast. The salt satyagraha began on 12 March and ended in Dandi with Gandhi breaking the Salt Act on 6 April. |
