CYCLE THE SALT RIDE Join us as we cycle Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March route from Ahmedabad to Dandi THE DANDI RETREAT
17th to 22nd December 2019
Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi Beach
Thirty-five years before Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery, a 60-year-old Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led dozens of his followers on a 384 km journey from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, a small village on the Arabian Sea, to protest British rule. Leaning on a long walking stick and dressed as always in modest homespun clothes, Gandhi hoped to bring worldwide attention to the growing Indian independence movement by highlighting the injustice of Britain’s colonial salt laws, which forbid Indians from producing or selling their own salt. The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagra- ha, began on March 12, 1930, near Gandhi’s religious retreat in Sabar- mati Ashram, and proceeded some 384 km southward over 24 days toward the coastal village of Dandi, where a crowd of thousands watched as Gandhi and his followers deliberately broke the law by evaporating seawater to make their own salt. Go Dharmic will be celebrating the completion of 50 libraries for underprivileged children and also launching the campaign to plant 1 million trees. Join us on the 16th of December 2019 to raise awareness for the vast array of issues facing our environment by riding the route of Mahatma Gandhi’s famous salt march. We will cycle from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to Dandi Beach and make a stand for our planet and raise funds for Go Dharmic and its campaigns.
