\xa0The Civil Disobedience Movement was started by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. He wanted to oppose the colonial rule by breaking laws framed by it. This movement started with the Salt Satygraha (Dandi March) organised by Mahatma Gandhi. He began walking on 12 March 1930 from his Sabarmati Ashram. He was accompanied by thousands of people on his way. He reached his destination, that is, Dandi at the sea-coast within twenty four days. He made a fistful of salt to break the salt laws. He intentionally made himself a criminal in the eyes of the law.
