The Amritsar Massacre was a catalyst for the movement towards Indian independence and focused Gandhi completely on independence from Britain. In 1930 he organized the Salt March where he led a pilgrimage of nonviolent protestors to the sea to illegally make salt to protest against British salt taxes. |
