Irwin was not ready to negotiate. So, Gandhiji started the famous salt march. The march was over 240 miles, from Sabarmati to Dandi. Thousands of people came to support Gandhiji wherever he stopped. He urged them to peacefully defy the British rule. On 6th April he reached Dandi and violated the law by making salt.
