UPSC Prelims 2025 GS Paper's Solution
Explanation :
The famous statement “Sedition has become my religion” was given by Mahatma Gandhi at the time of publicly violating the Salt Law at Dandi.
While Gandhi was charged with sedition for his writings in “Young India” in 1922, the specific declaration “Sedition has become my religion” is strongly associated with his defiance of the British Salt Law during the Dandi March in 1930. This act of civil disobedience was a direct and public challenge to the unjust laws imposed by the British government, which he considered a moral and spiritual duty.
