1920s India

The 1920s in India was a transformative decade marked by social, political, and economic change. The impact of World War I spurred demands for greater self-government, leading to widespread protests against British rule. The Non-Cooperation Movement, led by Mahatma Gandhi, called for boycotts of British goods and institutions. The decade also saw rising nationalist sentiments and the growth of political organizations. Cultural movements flourished, with literature, art, and music reflecting new ideas. However, the period was marred by unrest, such as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, which intensified the struggle for independence.
