99 Dandi March Day { March 12,1930 }-a poem

 === 

Clad in white cloth, Sabarmati Saint

“honest," and "simple” like all were his traits

Used to hold stick always to walk

“NON-VIOLENCE” was his weapon of war.

From his rivals, he was the first to receive a standing ovation

That's why, he is called 'The Father Of Our Nation'

April 10,1917

To grow Indigo" Champaran  Farmers” were tortured

They ran towards Gandhiji” the then” prominent leader

This was his first entry  into India's freedom struggle

Never turned back till shunted out Britishers.

The next move of saint was the “NON CO-OPERATION MOVEMENT”

To  boycott foreign goods  without any violence

Though withdrawn due to the"CHAURA-CHAURI” incident

Yet it completely shook “ The British Imperial Government”.

On March12,1930

‘Britishers passed a “Salt Act’ 
 on Indians" wealth, it  was a direct   attack  

 Indians were prohibited  to sell their salt

Imposition of heavy tax 
 was  indirect  assault

 Made salt, Gandhi ji, from the Arabian Sea,

 Became difficult for Britishers to stand up to the heat

Though he was arrested on May 5

Satyagrahies, against it, continued to fight.

Thus whenever  Britishers played dirty game

Bapu ji thwarted that  at the time same

Great leaders who make
 enemy's tricky walls bare

Are born on this earth
 very rare.
