The statement "Sedition has become my religion" was made by Mahatma Gandhi during the Salt Satyagraha, a pivotal phase of the Civil Disobedience Movement. On April 6, 1930, after completing the historic Dandi March, Mahatma Gandhi symbolically violated the British Salt Law by picking up a handful of natural salt at Dandi. This act initiated a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience. In his address during this period, Gandhi articulated his strong opposition to British colonial rule, describing it as morally and spiritually detrimental, and declared his unwavering commitment to resist it through non-violent means, using the aforementioned phrase to emphasize his resolve.
