Dandi

Dandi is a small village in the district of Valsad, Gujarat, India. It is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea near the city of Surat.

It shot into prominence when Mahatma Gandhi selected it to be the place for Salt Satyagraha. He marched from Ahmedabad to Dandi with some of his followers to protest against the imposition of tax on salt. It could be said that in this village the beginning of the fall of British rule in India started.
