Lahore December 1929 session purn Swaraj was demanded. On 31st Jan 1930, Gandhi ji wrote a letter to Sir Irwin, the viceroy of India in the 1920s, in which he gave the earth alternation that they want all 11 demands fulfilled; otherwise, they will start a civil disobedience movement. The most important demand was the violation of salt tax because salt was a basic need for all the people living in the country, and heavy tax was imposed on salt, and nobody in the country was allowed to produce salt. That’s why the civil disobedience movement was started. CDM was started by Gandhi ji by doing the salt march. Gandhi ji was accompanied by his 78 trusted volunteers. He walked 240 miles; the work started from Sabarmati Ashram and ended in Dandi. He walked for 24 days, and thousands of people came to hear Gandhi whenever he stopped. He talked about his concept of gaining Swaraj by the method of non-violence. On 6th April 1930, he reached Dandi and the Violet Salt Law by making a handful of salt. From here, CDM officially started and started spreading all over the country.
