the Salt March: In Footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi

"With this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire."In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi marched two hundred and forty miles to a coastal backwater in Gujarat to pick up a pinch of salt. This humble act of defiance became one of the defining acts of resistance in modern history, igniting a movement that helped bring an end to British rule in India and hastened the decline of the British Empire. More than a political protest, the Salt March embodied Gandhi's progressive vision of social justice, equality, and human dignity - ideals that continue to inspire the world today.Nearly a century later, Guy Colborne follows in Gandhi's footsteps, retracing the famous route through the Gujarati communities that shaped Gandhi's life and worldview. As he travels, he explores Gandhi's enduring legacy and discovers a vibrant, rich culture in Gujarat that is still very much shaped by its most celebrated son.
