Azadi movement

The Azadi Movement, primarily associated with Iran, refers to efforts aimed at achieving independence or greater autonomy for a region or group within a country. "Azadi" means "freedom" in Persian and Urdu. Historically, it has symbolized resistance against political or cultural repression, seeking self-determination, recognition, and rights. In some contexts, it reflects struggles for political liberation or independence from centralized authority, driven by desires to preserve cultural identity, governance, or geopolitical sovereignty. The movement’s goals and significance vary depending on the specific historical and regional context, but overall, it underscores a pursuit of freedom and self-governance.
