The statement “The march began after the failure of the First Round Table Conference in London” is NOT correct. The Dandi March (Salt March) began on March 12, 1930, launching the Civil Disobedience Movement. The First Round Table Conference was held later, from November 1930 to January 1931. The Civil Disobedience Movement was initiated before the conference.
The Dandi March was a key event in 1930 that marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement, separate from the timing of the First Round Table Conference.
