Vice President Pays Tribute to Dandi March Heroes

Why in the News ?

The Vice President of India, C.P. Radhakrishnan, paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and freedom fighters on the anniversary of the Dandi March (Salt Satyagraha). The event commemorates a historic moment in India’s freedom struggle against British colonial rule.

Tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and Freedom Fighters:

  • Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi and the participants of the historic Dandi March.

  • In a message shared on social media, he described the Salt Satyagraha of 1930 as a turning point in India’s struggle for independence.

  • The movement demonstrated the power of non-violent resistance based on the principles of Satya (truth) and Ahimsa (non-violence).

  • Gandhi’s leadership during the march inspired mass participation across the country, strengthening the civil disobedience movement against British rule.

  •     The Vice President highlighted that the ideals of the Dandi March continue to inspire national unity and self-reliance in modern India.

Legacy and Contemporary Relevance

  • The Dandi March became one of the most influential acts of civil disobedience during the Indian freedom movement.

  • By challenging the British salt tax, Gandhi mobilised people from different regions and social groups to join the struggle for independence.

  • The movement inspired large-scale protests, boycotts of British goods, and nationwide civil disobedience campaigns.

  • The Vice President emphasised that the spirit of self-reliance and collective action remains relevant in India’s journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat.

  •     The commemoration also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices of freedom fighters who contributed to India’s independence.

About Dandi March and Civil Disobedience Movement:

●  The Dandi March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on 12 March 1930 from the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad.

●  Gandhi and his followers marched about 240 miles (around 390 km) to the coastal village of Dandi in Gujarat.

●  On 6 April 1930, Gandhi symbolically produced salt from seawater, defying the British monopoly and tax on salt.

●  The march marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement, encouraging Indians to break colonial laws through peaceful protest.

●      The movement attracted international attention and significantly strengthened India’s freedom struggle, eventually contributing to the end of British colonial rule in 1947.
