Impact of the Salt Tax and the Salt Satyagraha on Indian Nationalism - Nishant Verma

In the early 1900s, India was under British rule. The British government imposed many taxes on the Indian people, and one of the most unfair and widely felt taxes was the salt tax. Salt is something that everyone needs, and it was used in every household in India. But the British decided to control the production and sale of salt, forcing people to pay a heavy tax on it. This tax on salt angered many Indians and became one of the biggest reasons for people to rise up against British rule.
