The correct answer is: Dharasana.
During the Salt Satyagraha of 1930, prominent leaders from Bihar were arrested at Dharasana. The Salt Satyagraha was a major nonviolent protest campaign in India led by Mahatma Gandhi against the British salt monopoly. The campaign lasted for 24 days, from March 12 to April 6, 1930.
The protest began with Gandhi’s famous Dandi March, in which he walked 240 miles from his ashram in Ahmedabad to the coastal town of Dandi, where he made salt from seawater in defiance of British law. The march was followed by a series of protests and demonstrations across India, including the Dharasana Salt Works raid, in which thousands of Indian protesters were beaten by British police.
The Salt Satyagraha was a major turning point in the Indian independence movement. It helped to galvanize support for independence and led to the eventual British withdrawal from India in 1947.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Dandi is a town in Gujarat, India, where Mahatma Gandhi made salt from seawater in defiance of British law.
- Sabarmati is a town in Gujarat, India, where Gandhi’s ashram was located.
- Chauri Chaura is a town in Uttar Pradesh, India, where a group of Indian protesters killed 22 British police officers in 1922.
