The Dandi March (1930) is the event linked with Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, since it began the Civil Disobedience Movement through violation of the salt law. On the Dandi March: gandhi walked about 385 kilometres from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi over twenty-four days, and the march directly triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement across the country. The Dandi March belongs to the 1927-1947 phase of India's national movement, and exam setters often pair the Dandi March with neighbouring milestones on this timeline to test precise, date-wise recall. Poona Pact is incorrect because the Poona Pact took place in 1932, not 1930, so it does not fit this question on the Dandi March. Forward Bloc is incorrect because the Forward Bloc took place in 1939, not 1930, so it does not fit this question on the Dandi March. Cripps Mission is incorrect because the Cripps Mission took place in 1942, not 1930, so it does not fit this question on the Dandi March. Competitive exams such as SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, State PSC, and Railway exams frequently test the Dandi March of 1930, so keeping the year, the key person, and the outcome linked together in memory helps avoid confusion with nearby events in the national movement timeline. Candidates preparing for the Dandi March question should also revise the events immediately before and after it on the 1927-1947 timeline, since paper-setters frequently frame options using adjacent years and closely related personalities. Remember: Dandi March — 1930 — Mahatma Gandhi.
