(Dandi) March at 12th of March in the year 1930. Because of

He
was the person of honor who had taught the Indian people to make their
own clothe to wear. Once the British government banned the supply of
cloths in India in late 1800s and early 1900s, then Mahatma Gandhi
thought that he must do something. He felt that Indians never get
independence until they make their own cloths and other necessary things
of living. Bapu started encouraging the Indian people to make their
own desi cotton cloth by using the traditional spinning wheels and looms
of India. From that time the traditional hand spinning wheels and looms
became the symbol of Indian independence struggle and life of Bapu.
