In 1930 Gandhi the 61-year old leader of teh Indian movement for independence form British rule, began a march to the sea with 78 followers. Their destinationwas Dandi, a small coastal town about 340 miles away. The group covered about 12 miles a day. As they went, Gandhi preached his doctrine of nonviolent resistance to British rule in every village through which he went "Civil disobedience is th einherent right of a citizen. He dare not give it up without ceasing to be a man."

By the time he reached Dandi, 24 days later hes small group of people had become a nonviolent army of thousands. When Gandhi and his followers arrived at Dandi, Gandhi picked up a pinch of crystallized sea salt from the sand. Thousands of people all along the coast did the same. In doing so they were openly breaking British laws that prohibited Indians form making their own salt. The British had long profited form their monoploy on th emaking and selling of salt, an item much in demand in India. They used coastal saltflats to collect crystallized sea salt to sell. By their simple act of disobedience, Gandhi and the Indian people had taken another step on their long march to independence form the British empore. The Salt March was on eof the many nonviolent activites that Gandhi undertook to win India's national independence between world war I and World War II

At the end of the Second World War British india's Muslims and Hindus were diveided. The leaders in India realized the aBritsih India would have to be divided in to two countries. One for Hindu India and one for muslim Pakistan. Pakistan consisrted of two regoins separtated by Inda. One part, West Pakistan, was to the northwest of India. The other, East Pakistan, was to the Northeast. On August 15, 1947, India and Paakistan became independent. Millions of Hindus and Muslims fled across the new borders, Hindus toward India and Muslims toward Pakistan. Violence resulted from these mass migrations, and more than a million people were killed.
