In November 1927, the British appointed Simon commission to investigate the need for further constitutional reforms. The commission composed of seven British members of Parliament.

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan nicknamed Bacha Khan was a Pashtun independence activist against the rule of the British Raj. He was a political and spiritual leader known for his nonviolent opposition, and a lifelong pacifist and devout Muslim. A close friend of Mohandas Gandhi, Bacha Khan was nicknamed the "Frontier Gandhi" in British India. Bacha Khan founded the Khudai Khidmatgar ("Servants of God") movement in 1929, whose success triggered a harsh crackdown by the British Empire against him and his supporters, and they suffered some of the most severe repression of the Indian independence movement.

Women participated in protest marches, manufactured salt, and picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops. Many went to jail. Moved by Gandhiji's call, they began to see service to the nation as a sacred duty of women. Yet, this increased public role did not necessarily mean any radical change in the way the position of women was visualised. The Congress was reluctant to allow women to hold any position of authority within the organisation. It was keen only on their symbolic presence.

Salt was a daily necessity and it was freely available in nature. It was, therefore, unjust to impose a tax on it. The salt satyagraha was symbolic. In a broader sense, the salt satyagraha signified the breaking of all the oppressive and unjust laws of the British government in a peaceful way.

Sarojini Naidu led the salt satyagraha at Dharsana works when all the prominent leaders got arrested. Madam Cama was a social revolutionary. Lakshmi Bai died way back during the revolt of 1857. Kasturba Gnadhi, wife of Mahatma Gandhi, was not a part of the Dharsana salt works.
