History

Historical Context

In March 1930 Gandhi led a 24-day Salt March from Sabarmati to Dandi, breaking the British salt tax and sparking mass civil disobedience across the Indian National Congress and British Raj. Today Narendra Modi’s 35,500-kilometre Seva Yatra, organized by the BJP, echoes that non-violent trek to mobilize voters and promote development.
