Vedaranyam March
The Vedaranyam March or Vedaranyam Satyagraha was organised to protest the salt tax imposed by the British Raj in India. The march took place in April 1930 and was the second of its kind following the Dandi March organised by Mahatma Gandhi, both in the framework of the Civil Disobedience Movement. The Vedaranayam March was led by a group of 100 volunteers from the Indian National Congress (INC) under the leadership of C. Rajagopalacharioften referred to as "Rajaji". It began at Trichinopoly (now Tiruchirappalli) and ended in Vedaranyam, a small coastal town in Tanjore District. By collecting salt directly from the sea, the marchers broke the salt law. Rajaji spoke to people along the march's route about the importance of ''Khādī,'' issues of 'social disabilities' (cast discrimination) and civil disobedience. The campaign ended on 28 April 1930 when the participants were arrested, following which Rajaji was imprisoned for six months.
==Background==
In response to a nationwide protest against the British salt tax, Gandhi initiated a salt march on 6 April 1930 to Dandithen a small village in the Bombay Presidency on the western coast of India. Rajaji, a close associate of Gandhi who also participated in the Dandi march, organised a march to India's east coast to make salt at Vedaranyam, Tanjore District in Madras Presidency. He chose Vedaranyam instead of Tuticorin, a larger salt-making centre, because the former had convenient salt marshes and because Vedaratnam Pillai was a local resident, salt merchant, INC activist and philanthropist who would be able to supply moral and logistic support to the marchers. Rajaji started the march from Trichinopoly, west of Vedaranyam.
Rajaji was unanimously elected president of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee ten days prior to the march, and insisted that only people willing to risk death or long prison terms should participate. Nearly 100 members of the INC, including T. S. S. Rajan,〔 Sardar Vedaratnam,〔 Rukmini Lakshmipathi, K. Kamaraj, M. Bhaktavatsalam, and C. R. Narasimhan, joined the rally. In addition, social activists such as A. Vaidyanatha Iyer and G. Ramachandran also joined the group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pib.nic.in/archieve/lreleng/l1299/r091299.html )〕
