Description

The year is 1930 and 13-year-old Chandras has the opportunity to join the great leader Mahatma Gandhi and thousands of others on a 'salt march' to the coast, to demonstrate against the unjust law that forced every Indian to pay a tax on salt. This book tells the story of Gandhi's famous 'salt march', from a young fictional character's perspective.
