All India Home Rule League

The All India Home Rule League was a political movement in India founded in 1916 by Lokmanya Tilak and Annie Besant. Its main goal was to achieve self-governance for India within the British Empire, advocating for greater political rights and autonomy. The League gained significant support, particularly among the educated middle class, and sought to unite various Indian political factions to demand self-rule. This movement played a crucial role in raising political consciousness in India and laid the groundwork for the later Indian independence movement by promoting the idea of self-determination and democratic governance.
