"Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being." --Mohandas K. Gandhi

Salt March

On April 5th 1930, after a 241-mile walk that drew thousands of followers, Mahatma Gandhi picked up a small lump of salt from the beach in Dandi, thereby breaking the British salt tax law and symbolically liberating India from the injustices of colonial rule. In March 2005, Tushar Ghandi, Mahatma's great grandson, is planning to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Salt March by reenacting the 241-mile procession as an affirmation to the power of peace brought by non-violence.
