During the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930, parallel to Mahatma Gandhi’s Dandi March, C. Rajagopalachari (C.R.) organized and led a salt march in Tamil Nadu. The march started from Tiruchirappalli to Vedaranyam on the Tanjore (Thanjavur) coast to break the salt law.

– C. Rajagopalachari led the Salt Satyagraha in Tamil Nadu in 1930.
– The march was from Tiruchirappalli to Vedaranyam on the Tanjore coast.
– This was part of the wider Civil Disobedience Movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi.

V. O. Chidambaram Pillai was a freedom fighter associated with Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company and the Swadeshi movement in Tamil Nadu, but not the 1930 salt march. K. Kamaraj was a prominent Congress leader and later Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, but his significant role was in post-independence politics and the freedom movement in general, not this specific event. Annie Besant was a key figure in the Home Rule Movement, earlier than the Civil Disobedience Movement.
