Halve the mangoes and remove the seeds. Dice the flesh, squeeze out the skin, and place it in a large bowl. Add salt and water. Let it rest overnight. Drain the liquid and set the mangoes aside. Bring the sugar and vinegar to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Gradually stir the mangoes into the vinegar-sugar mixture. Stir in the ginger, garlic, chili powder, cinnamon sticks, raisins, and dates, and bring back to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the cinnamon sticks, ladle the chutney into clean jars, and seal tightly. Store in a cool place.
