Explanation

Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, the socialist activist, persuaded Gandhiji not to restrict the Salt March protest to men alone, arguing that women must participate; her intervention led to large-scale women's participation in the Salt Satyagraha, including the picketing of liquor and foreign-cloth shops. Sarojini Naidu, Matangini Hazra and Mithuben Petit were participants, but the persuader was Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay.
