20th century India

The 20th century in India was marked by the struggle for independence from British rule, led by leaders like Gandhi and Nehru through non-violent protests. After gaining independence in 1947, India became a republic, facing challenges of building a unified nation amid diverse languages, cultures, and religions. The century saw major political, social, and economic changes, including efforts to reduce poverty, promote industrial growth, and expand education. Despite obstacles like partition and communal tensions, India evolved into a democratic and growing nation, laying the foundation for its ongoing development in the 21st century.
