Detailed Solution

The Salt Satyagraha in Dandi marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
In 1930, Gandhiji made 11 demands to Viceroy Irwin and mentioned that if Irwin did not accept these demands, then Gandhi would launch the Civil Disobedience movement.

This march broke the salt law and marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.

Moreover, the salt tax revealed the oppressive face of British rule.
