Once upon a time, there lived two boys named Gopi and Dhani. That was a time when Britisher's were ruling India and in that village, there lived a man named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was called Bapu. Britisher's rule was that all people had to pay salt tax and even the poorest person had to pay salt tax. So, one day he decided that he will defy the salt tax by marching from Sabarmati to Dandi Coastline and then he told his plan to the villagers but they refused but Bapu tried his best and after the villagers agreed. So, the started the March and on that day Gopi and Dhani were climbed on a tree and were eagerly waiting for Bapu and they had a bundle of chapatis and a couple of bananas in their hands. Then Dhani asked Gopi that when he will come some music will play or something else the Gopi told him that is this any nautanki show? He told that he wore a white khadi dhoti and white khadi shawl wrapped over his torso and round specs and bald head and a stick through which he was able to walk and lean through the ground. When he finished they saw that Bapu had arrived when they saw they ran towards him and told him that we also want to join the March after this he told to the villagers too that nobody needs to be in March or else you all will miss your jobs and l don't want that people from other villages who don't have jobs will join me so they agreed and said that you would take some rest on the charpoy and eat the food what they had in their hands and told to eat after some time he started to March and reached the another village and met a man and he asked that why are you walking? And then he told the whole story to him and he told that he will help him and then called the villagers and started to March one man calculated that it would take 13 weeks to reach Dandi Coastline and finally they reached and made salt and was jailed for a few months and 30,000 people were jailed with him. He always told the Britishers that whatever he did was for the welfare of the people and after a serious discussion they decided to leave him. After that, the villagers lived happily.


Bapu was a great leader and a freedom fighter for us and he wrote his autobiography in jail.
