Home Rule League

The Home Rule League was a political movement in India during the early 20th century, founded in 1916 by Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant. Its goal was to gain self-governance for India within the British Empire, allowing Indians more control over their own affairs. The League sought to achieve this through constitutional means, advocating for legislative reforms and greater representation for Indians in governance. It played a significant role in mobilizing public opinion and energized political activism, contributing to the broader struggle for independence from British colonial rule.
