The evolution of the technique of Satyagraha in the long drawn political struggle launched by Mahatma Gandhi and his numerous followers against the British India was a romantic history. Earlier Gandhi launched a successful Satyagraha in South Africa where he lived and fought for the basic rights of emigrant Indians. In India Gandhi modified his techniques taking into account the local situations and the socio - economic conditions of the people. In fact the word Satyagraha had romantic origin in the life of Gandhi. By 1928, the struggle against British imperialism entered a new phase. The political climate in the Country was conductive for launching the Civil Disobedience Movement. The Lahore session of the Congress, presided by Jawaharlal Nehru, declared complete independence for India as its goal. The national leader lost hope in the Labour Government in London that any reasonable response would be made to the Indian demand. As decided at the Lahore session of the Congress Gandhi declared 26th January 1930 as Independence Day. Following this, Gandhi published his eleven point demand which had an appeal for every section of the people. But the Viceroy made no response to Gandhi’s ultimatum. In such a condition Gandhi announced his decision to open his campaign by opposing the Salt Act. He decided to disobey the Salt Act for it was the most ubiquitous and the most iniquitous of all laws in India. By this Act the poor peasants suffered much. Hence Gandhi declared the Civil Disobedience. On 12 March he gave a notice to Viceroy declaring the programme of the historic Dandhi March. And this opened yet another chapter in India’s fight for Independence.
