Voice 1: It was usual for people to make their own salt. People also bought locally produced salt. It did not cost a lot of money. The British government made it illegal for people in India to make their own salt. The government forced people to buy government approved and taxed salt. They punished people who did not follow the salt laws. The police would take people's salt away. Police would even put people in jail for up to six months for breaking the salt laws.
