The Great Salt March

In 1930, the Dandi march* bore so much significance On both sides it was “do or die” chance The great stress was laid on non violence The Gandhiji* himself was leading the volunteers The great father of nation did whatever he could Today we are on the brink of disaster and should Ask only one question” Where are we heading for”? Is it the same place where the March was considered as war? We occasionally remember the great sacrifice The father of the nation showed great vision with promises Today that sight stands in dilapidated condition Not stray cattle can pass over it with safe condition Nearby Sabarmati Ashram* stand as vanguard We can pick some leaves to look onward The site is taken over by and exploited for commercial use Many people have intruded inside with aim to misuse We are loosing great heritage and charm How much we will inflict and harm? We can definitely think over the issue What else is left for us than only view? Many politicians and academician occasionally remember Visit the place and pay homage with prayers We have made it as token remembrance The past glory has remained as lost chance • Famous march against imposition of levy on salt • Gandhiji… Father of Indian nation • Sabarmati Ashram… Sabarmati.. river name • Ashram.. place where Gandhiji spent most of his time
