Explanation
- Point A (Madras/Chennai): The 1927 INC session at Madras is a standard map-skill fact for this chapter. Note it on the map in the southern peninsular region.
- Point B (Dandi): The textbook explicitly names Dandi as the Gujarati coastal town where Gandhiji ceremonially violated the salt law. This is the most frequently tested map point from Chapter 2.
- In the exam, write the name clearly on the line near the arrow on the map — that is what earns the mark. A one-line identification per point is sufficient; no elaborate explanation needed on the map itself.
