Here is some help

Gandhi first employed peaceful civil disobedience in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa!. Upon his return to India from Africa, he organized poor farmers and labourers to protest against oppressive taxation and widespread discrimination

Gandhi practiced and advocated non-violence and truth in all situations!. He lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs!. Making his own clothes—the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with the hand spun yarn he spun on a charkha—he lived on a simple vegetarian and, later, fruitarian diet!. He underwent long (at times over a month) fasts, for both self-purification and protest!.

Salt March

In an effort to amend the salt tax without breaking the law, on March 2, 1930 Gandhi wrote to the Viceroy, Lord Irwin:

" If my letter makes no appeal to your heart, on the eleventh day of this month I shall proceed with such co-workers of the Ashram as I can take, to disregard the provisions of the Salt Laws!. I regard this tax to be the most iniquitous of all from the poor man's standpoint!. As the Independence movement is essentially for the poorest in the land, the beginning will be made with this evil!."


On March 12, 1930, Gandhi and approximately 78 male satyagrahis set out, on foot, for the coastal village of Dandi some 240 miles from their starting point in Sabarmati, a journey which was to last 23 days!. Virtually every resident of each city along this journey watched the great procession, which was at least two miles in length!. On April 6th he picked up a lump of mud and salt (some say just a pinch, some say just a grain) and boiled it in seawater to make the commodity which no Indian could legally produce--salt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
