Inter-War Period (between WW 1 and II), Rule Britannia, Britannia Rules the Salt - The British Empire | BETWEEN 2 WARS I 1930 Part 1 of 1 - YouTube (2)

spreads across India. Mainstream political nationalists also now switch back to activism.

In December 1929, the Congress, under the leadership of the more radical Jawaharlal

Nehru, authorizes a renewed Civil Disobedience Movement for complete independence.

It is Gandhi that turns this into a movement that will send ripples throughout the Empire

and the rest of the world. Under the India Salt Act of 1882, there is a British monopoly

on the collection and manufacturing of salt. So even in regions by the sea, where you can

technically just collect your salt yourself, which people have been doing so for thousands

and thousands of years, Indians now have to buy their salt from the British. There is

also a tax on salt sales so that revenues from the salt monopoly make up from 4 to 9%

of the Raj's income.

The British administration fails at first to understand that a purely administrative

matter like this is an explosive target for protest, but Gandhi is certain that he has

picked the right target. You see, to animate the people he needs something that matters

to all of the people, especially the poor. And since you can't live without salt, this

is the one. On March 12, 1930, Gandhi and 78 followers begin a 200 mile march from the

banks of the Sabarmati river to Dandi. Along the way Gandhi collects salt form the sea,

encourages others to do so, and holds public addresses. When he arrives at Dandi on April

6, he once again collects salt, and has set in motion a wave of civil disobedience of

massive proportions.

Across India, Gandhi's followers of non-violent resistance, the satyagrahis now march to collect

salt on the shores of Bengal, Orissa, Madras, Andhra, and Kerala. Gandhi declares that “Salt

in the hands of satyagrahis, represents the honor of the nation. It cannot be yielded

up, except to force that will break the hand to pieces” and the movement is now gaining

a mass following.

Widespread boycotts of British goods follow, with the import of foreign cloth falling from

160 million to 48 million yards. The British soon crack down, and both Nehru and Gandhi

are arrested. In May, 2500 volunteers march to the Dharsana Salt Works in a non-violent

raid, they face brutal police assaults. Overall, 60,000 Satyagrahis are arrested in this first

phase of the movement, which fails to produce definite results, but has two major effects.

First of all, it creates widespread foreign support for the Indian independence movement

as Gandhi's Salt March is in headlines and newsreels all over the world. Gandhi becomes

what he remains in 2019; a worldwide symbol for passive resistance against oppression

- Time Magazine makes him man of the year 1930. Second of all, these images of one man

draped only in cloth simply walking and collecting salt in defiance of the greatest power on

the planet, broadcasts to the world that the British Empire might not be as invincible

as everyone thought.

It also sends a shockwave to the British Government; can it continue to rely on its Empire as an

economic and military guarantee?

And this can't come at a worse time. You see, Great Britain has kinda painted itself

into a corner. In 1921 she broke off her alliance with the Japanese Empire, who was flexing

its muscles in the Pacific. They are also at loggerheads with the Americans, who are

calling for Britain to reduce its Naval strength to be on a par with its own. In fact, in 1928,

Anglo-American relations are so low that British Acting Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,

Lord Cushenden, declares that “war is not unthinkable between the two countries. On

the contrary, there are present all the factors which in the past have made wars between states.”

Britain is being pushed and pulled from all over the place

Its Naval supremacy is being challenged and the territories which supported her in the

last war are looking increasingly insecure. Loyalty to the motherland is still strong

in many Dominions, but this is tempered by a reluctance to enter another massive war,

with no legal force compelling them to do so if it should break out. Now, imagine if

some of her European neighbors should soon rise up and challenge the world by starting

renewed aggressive expansion into other sovereign nations, will the greatest power in the world

still be able to stand up to that like she did in 1914, or will she see no other way

out than appeasement?
