"A foreign journalist gave the story an international audience."
The Salt March became a turning point because Gandhi’s nonviolent protest drew massive national participation and wide international press coverage. That publicity exposed the injustice of British rule, generated global sympathy, and helped galvanize Indian public opinion and the broader independence movement — even as the British arrested Gandhi and thousands of others.
