The Long Walk

This speech was more about the gesture than the words spoken. There's been a royal monopoly on the manufacture of salt and it was illegal to make salt without permission from the British government. Gandhi's decision to walk 240 miles to the sea to make salt was predominantly the appeal to emotion (pathos).

His action sort to stir a lot of emotions from both sides. Looking at it from the Indian perspective, the long walk's primary importance was symbolic as control over the salt meant control over the pulse of India and from the British point it went down as a form of disrespect to their leadership and cemented the fact that they were no ,ore in control of the Indian populace.
During this journey, people were cheering, happy, all sorts of positive emotions were expressed. The main concept behind this gesture was to provoke the British empire and he achieved that effect to the maximum.

When he got to the ocean and fetched some of the salt, he raised his hands and said these words "this salt comes from Indian ocean, let every Indian claim it as his right'. This statement although literally means they should take control of the salt metaphorically he is reaffirming the fact that India is for the Indian people and that they should reclaim it. It also goes to clarify the minds of Indian who had a figment of doubt that the country was their for the taking.
