Witness History: Archive 2011 - Gandhi's Salt March protest

In 1930, Gandhi led the famous Salt March against British rule in India. His great-grandson Tushar, retraced the route 75 years later.

Witness speaks to him about the power of peaceful protest. The programme also includes a newspaper account of the original march.
