The Salt of Spring

The Salt of Spring introduces audiences of all ages to the story of the Dandi March. The march occurred during the Indian Independence Movement of the twentieth century. In the spring of 1930, individuals from Gujarat, India marched 240 miles/386 km from Ahmedabad to the coastal village of Dandi to protest the British Raj's salt tax. Salt, a necessity for all life, served as a symbol for the problems with British rule over India. The Salt of Spring follows the story of Asha and her family as they carry out civil disobedience in India.
