Gandhi's thought that the British salt tax was one of many unfair economic practices used support British rule. He decided to use the tax as the important point of peaceful political protest. The British monopoly on the salt tax in India dictated that the sale or production of salt by anyone but the British government was a criminal offense punishable by law. Salt was easily available to laborers who were instead forced to pay money for a mineral which they could easily collect themselves for free. Moreover, Gandhi's chose the salt tax because it would be to all regions, classes, and ethnic groups. Everyone needed salt, and the British taxes on it had an impact on all of India.

Gandhi's decision on being a vegetarian is because of the Hindu and Jain traditions in India. Most people who lived in the same area as him where vegetarian too. He tried many different diets and decided that a vegetarian diet is enough to satisfy the minimum amount of food needed in a daily diet. Gandhi learned when he was young that the only way to save animals and to not injure living things is vegetarianism.
