Indian freedom movement

The Indian freedom movement was a concerted effort by Indians to end British colonial rule, which had lasted for nearly two centuries. It involved various strategies, including protests, civil disobedience, and political negotiations, led by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and others. The movement emphasized non-violent resistance and unity among diverse communities. Over decades, it mobilized millions of Indians, raising national consciousness and demanding independence. Ultimately, these efforts culminated in India gaining independence from Britain on August 15, 1947, establishing itself as a sovereign nation after a long struggle for self-rule.
