Salt as a Symbol of Resistance: A Study of Inchudi during the Civil Disobedience Movement

India is not just a land; it is the mother of the mass population of the country. From time immemorial until today, whenever it faced an attack and threat from outside or inside, it reacted against the attacker. The superiority of the threat they face is irrelevant. During British rule, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, our forefathers fought three major movements against the powerful British army. The movement was completely based on the path of nonviolence. The first one was in 1920, the Non-Cooperation Movement; the second one was the 1930 Civil Disobedience Movement; and the last one was the 1942 Quit India Movement. Among these movements, the prominent one is the Civil Disobedience Movement, because this is the first movement in which a large number of people participated actively throughout the country. The movement is also known as the Salt Movement or the Salt Satyagraha because the first disobedience was made by breaking the salt law of the British government. Mahatma Gandhi selected Dandi on the Gujarat coast to break the salt law, and the Odisha Utkal Pradesh Congress Committee has chosen the coastal village Inchudi in Balasore to break the salt law. This paper is a study of the Salt Satyagraha of Inchudi, which is also popularly known as the second Dandi for its huge contribution to the success of the civil disobedience movement.
