Ghandi's Salt March - The genesis of the Civil Disobedience Movement
"Mahatma Gandhi, along with many members of the Congress Party, had a long-standing commitment to nonviolent civil disobedience, which he termed satyagraha, as the basis for achieving Indian independence. Referring to the relationship between satyagraha and Purna Swaraj, Gandhi saw "an inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree."

Only a change brought about in our political condition by pure means can lead to real progress.""
