Dandi March: PM Modi Hails Mahatma Gandhi’s Historic Movement — ‘Inspires Generations’
The Dandi March, a pivotal event in India’s struggle for independence, continues to resonate through the corridors of history as Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently commemorated its significance. In a stirring address, PM Modi emphasized how the Dandi March, led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, remains a source of inspiration for generations of Indians.
Understanding the Dandi March
The Dandi March, also known as the Salt March, was a nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly. Gandhi, accompanied by 78 followers, marched approximately 240 miles from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi, where they made salt from seawater, defying British law. This act of civil disobedience galvanized the Indian population and marked a turning point in the Indian independence movement.
Modi’s Tribute to Gandhi
During his recent speech, PM Modi remarked, “The Dandi March is not just a historical event; it is a beacon of hope and courage. It teaches us the importance of standing up for our rights through peaceful means.” His words echo the sentiments of many who view Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent resistance as a guiding principle in today’s socio-political landscape.
A Celebration of Values
As the nation reflects on this historic march, it serves as a reminder of the values that underpin our democracy—freedom, equality, and justice. The Dandi March is more than a protest; it is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of the Indian people.
