1947 Indian Independence Movement

The 1947 Indian Independence Movement was a pivotal struggle against British colonial rule, involving political negotiations, widespread protests, and civil disobedience. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi promoted nonviolent resistance, striving for self-rule and equality. Over decades, this movement galvanized millions of Indians, highlighting economic injustices and cultural aspirations. Facing mounting pressure, Britain gradually loosened its grip, culminating in India gaining independence on August 15, 1947. The event marked the end of nearly two centuries of British dominance and laid the foundation for India as a sovereign nation.
