Seller's Note's: There are many varieties of this coin each with it's own features. This particular coin has a weak strike on the obverse where the Ashoka Pillar is struck very weakly, however it has an enhanced reversed strong lines in Gandhi's clothing and strong lines on the flag in the background behind gandhi. This is actually a very common version of this coin. There are other varieties, with a strong obverse, but less detail on the reverse, such as gandhi's sandals, and clothing are weakly struck. I don't know, it seems to be just common of indian coins in general they are not always struck very well, then again they are struck for a huge population, and they are just business struck coins. These, however, are business struck, but uncirculated. 2005 INDIA 5 RUPEES: MARCH TO DANDI!!! 5 Rupees (Dandi March) (2005) Circulating commemorative coin: 75th Anniversary Dandi March Stainless steel • 6 g • ⌀ 23 mm KM# 325a , A365 The Salt March, also known as the Dandi March and the Dandi Satyagraha, was an act of nonviolent civil disobedience in colonial India led by Mahatma Gandhi. The twenty-four day march lasted from 12 March 1930 to 6 April 1930 as a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British Salt monopoly. The march spanned 239 miles (385 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi. Growing numbers of Indians joined them along the way. When Gandhi broke the British Raj salt laws at 8:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians. Upon arriving at the seashore on 5 April, Gandhi was interviewed by an Associated Press reporter. He stated: I cannot withhold my compliments from the government for the policy of complete non interference adopted by them throughout the march .... I wish I could believe this non-interference was due to any real change of heart or policy... the British Government, powerful though it is, is sensitive to world opinion which will not tolerate repression of extreme political agitation which civil disobedience undoubtedly is, so long as disobedience remains civil and therefore necessarily non-violent .... It remains to be seen whether the Government will tolerate as they have tolerated the march, the actual breach of the salt laws by countless people from tomorrow. The following morning, after a prayer, Gandhi raised a lump of salty mud and declared, "With this, I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire."[19] He then boiled it in seawater, producing illegal salt. He implored his thousands of followers to likewise begin making salt along the seashore, "wherever it is convenient" and to instruct villagers in making illegal, but necessary, salt. After making the salt by evaporation at Dandi, Gandhi continued southward along the coast, making salt and addressing meetings on the way. Gandhi was arrested on the midnight of 4–5 May 1930 British documents show that the British government was shaken by Satyagraha. Nonviolent protest left the British confused about whether or not to jail Gandhi. John Court Curry, an Indian Imperial Police officer from England, wrote in his memoirs that he felt nausea every time he dealt with Congress demonstrations in 1930. Curry and others in British government, including Wedgwood Benn, Secretary of State for India, preferred fighting violent rather than nonviolent opponents. The Dandi March offered a glaring portrait that civil disobedience can be brought about with nonviolent action, and can enact change. Eventually the Dandi march shook the British Government to it's core, eventually led to Indian Independence. More than thirty years later, Satyagraha and the March to Dandi exercised a strong influence on American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., and his fight for civil rights for blacks in the 1960s: Like most people, I had heard of Gandhi, but I had never studied him seriously. As I read I became deeply fascinated by his campaigns of nonviolent resistance. I was particularly moved by his Salt March to the Sea and his numerous fasts. The whole concept of Satyagraha (Satya is truth which equals love, and agraha is force; Satyagraha, therefore, means truth force or love force) was profoundly significant to me. As I delved deeper into the philosophy of Gandhi, my skepticism concerning the power of love gradually diminished, and I came to see for the first time its potency in the area of social reform.[8] The historical importance that this coin reminds us of belongs in every collection; as a reminder of what can be accomplished by one determined man to shake the ground of giants with nonviolent positive energy. 2005 INDIA 5 RUPEES: MARCH TO DANDI!!! 5 Rupees (Dandi March) (2005) Circulating commemorative coin: 75th Anniversary Dandi March Stainless steel • 6 g • ⌀ 23 mm KM# 325a , A365 Commemorative issue 75th Anniversary Dandi March Obverse Asoka Lion pedestal, denomination below Lettering: भारत INDIA सत्यमेव जयते रूपये 5 RUPEES Reverse Gandhi leading marchers Lettering: दांडी यात्रा के ७५ वर्ष 75 YEARS OF DANDI MARCH 1930 - 2005 Edge Security ♦ Mumbai / Bombay, India (1829-date) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price includes the item, safe and secure packaging materials, postage and/or extra postage due to packaging, and other costs associated with the safe secure shipping and sale of your item, and a very small premium for me: with the promise that you will not be disappointed in your item(s). ----Browse, Bid, Buy, and Banter---- THAT'S MY MOTTO!!!
