- Salt March
- Gandhi starts a non-violent demonstration, the Salt March, against the British monopoly on salt ( Only the British were allowed to win and sell salt).

The British government ignored the demonstration first, but after it was such a success, they inprisoned Gandhi and every Indian, who were winning salt out of the ocean.
