The Salt March occurred primarily **to protest an unfair British law**. It was a key event in the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. The British colonial government had imposed a salt tax, making it illegal for Indians to collect or produce their own salt. Gandhi organized the march to the Arabian Sea coast to make salt from seawater, thereby defying British law and highlighting the injustice of British rule in India.
