Answer:

  • The triggering factor for this movement was the British monopoly of salt trade in India and the imposition of a salt tax.

  • It was a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly in colonial India, and triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement.

  • “On bended knees I asked for bread and I have received stone instead”, was a remark made by Gandhiji in the beginning of the march.
