When Gandhi reached the Arabian Sea at the end of the Salt March, he picked up raw salt from the water and made a declaration:
"With this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire."
How do you think this quotation is symbolic of Gandhi's works and philosophy?

Gandhi believed that nonviolent protest was a powerful force that could intimidate even an oppressor as powerful as the British Empire. Picking up the sea salt was a simple act. However, when thousands of people united peacefully for the salt march in defiance of British laws, a silent blow was delivered to British rule. An act as small as picking up a handful of salt ignited the spark of nonviolent protest across India and managed to “shake the foundations of the British Empire.” The quotation illustrates Gandhi’s faith and confidence in the power of nonviolence.
