उत्तर
Mahatma Gandhi knew that the only way that a strong opposition against the British is possible is only when India stands against the British unitedly. However, by then the British had already played their cards and created rift among the different sections of the society. The rich looked down upon the poor and the high caste placed themselves at a positive unreachable by the low caste. It was then the British imposed the exploitatve tax on salt. Gandhi saw this as an opportunity to unify the population. he knew that salt was one item that was used by the rich, poor and all sections. If he could raise a protest aginst this law, he could get the support of all. It was with this intention that he started the salt march.

Mewat is one of the most backward areas in Haryana. It used to be a part of two districts, Gurgaon and Faridabad. The people of Mewat felt that the area will get better attention if it were to become a separate district. But political parties were indifferent to this sentiment. The demand for a separate district was raised by Mewat Educational and Social Organisation and Mewat Saksharta Samiti in 1996. Later, Mewat Vikas Sabha was founded in 2000 and carried out a series of public awareness campaigns. This forced both the major parties, Congress and the Indian National Lok Dal, to announce their support for the new district before the assembly elections held in February 2005. The new district came into existence in July 2005.
