Indian Self-Rule
Indian Self-Rule refers to the movement for Indians to gain political independence and manage their own governance, reducing control by British colonial authorities. It emphasized empowering Indians to make decisions for their country through local councils and democratic institutions. The movement gained momentum in the early 20th century, culminating in India’s independence in 1947. Self-Rule was about fostering national pride, sovereignty, and self-governance, allowing Indians to participate actively in shaping their future rather than being governed externally. It laid the groundwork for India's transition to a fully independent nation with its own government and policies.
