Why was salt made a symbol in Salt Satyagraha?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because salt was needed by everyone
Salt was chosen because every person, rich or poor, needed it, and the colonial government controlled its production and imposed a salt tax. Challenging the salt law therefore turned a specific economic grievance into a simple issue that ordinary people could understand and join. It was not a luxury limited to the rich. Consequently, option A is correct.
