Britain's Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple in the Indian diet. Citizens were forced to buy the vital mineral from the British, who, in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt, also exerted a heavy salt tax.

He declared resistance to British salt policies to be the unifying theme for his new campaign of satyagraha, or mass civil disobedience.
