When Gandhi threatened to march a second time, the government reacted by passing the Indian Relief Act of 1914. Thus Gandhi's first act of satyagraha succeeded. .
In January 1930, Gandhi published the Indian Declaration of Independence. One of the first targets he chose in his efforts to achieve the aim of independence was the salt tax imposed by the British, which made it illegal for Indians to prepare their own salt from sea water. The salt tax protest involved long marches. Violence was used against the non-violent protesters. In May 1930 at the Dharasana Salt Works, 320 protesters were injured in one day. The protesters were praised for their courage and the British officers were criticised for being brutal. By the end of the year about 100,000 protesters had been in prison. In the end, Gandhi agreed to end the satyagraha, the protesters were let out of prison and Indians were allowed to make their own salt. .
Leading a model life.
Gandhi led a model life, like a poor but religious man. This made his ideas more acceptable to common people. He dressed himself in peasant clothing to show many people that he was one of them. Gandhi chose to live and work with the poor and to identify himself with them. Once he was accepted by them, he introduced changes that woud have been rejected if they had been made by a person from some large city.1 For this reason, he and the members of his ashram agreed to live the simple life that people led in the Indian villages, to have no personal possessions, to eat no meat or rich food and to wear only clothes made of hand-spun cloth. .
In 1933 Gandhi began a 19,000-kilometre trip to raise money for the untouchables, whom he called Harijan, the children or God. Untouchables were accepted in Gandhi's Ashram. Gandhi adopted an untouchable girl. As a result, many Hindus began sharing food with untouchables or allowing them to enter temples which had been off limits to them before.
