Indian Modern History

Indian modern history, from the late 18th century to the mid-20th century, is marked by colonization, resistance, and eventual independence. The British East India Company's dominance led to direct British rule after the 1857 rebellion. Pioneers like Gandhi and Nehru promoted nonviolent resistance and nationalism, inspiring movements across Asia. The struggle culminated in India's independence in 1947, influencing global decolonization efforts. This period reflects India's rich cultural heritage amidst challenges, showcasing resilience and the quest for self-determination, significantly shaping Asian political landscapes and inspiring many liberation movements throughout the continent.
