Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Salt March became an effective tool of resistance against colonialism. Because Mahatma Gandhi found in the salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. Gandhiji sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin, making eleven demands. The most important move was to demand the repeal of the salt tax. Salt is an essential food consumed by both the rich and the poor. Irwin didn't want to negotiate, so Gandhi started the salt march with 78 volunteers. On April 6th, he goes to Dandi, breaks the law, and makes salt. This march developed a sense of nationalism. People in different parts of the country broke salt and salt laws and protested in front of government salt factories.
