Indian social movements

Indian social movements are organized efforts by groups to bring about social change, address inequalities, and protect rights. Notable examples include the anti-colonial independence movement, which challenged British rule, and the Dalit movement advocating for the rights of marginalized caste groups. Others, like the Chipko movement, focus on environmental conservation, while women's movements work towards gender equality. These movements often involve protests, advocacy, and community engagement, shaping policies and societal norms. Collectively, they reflect India’s ongoing efforts to promote social justice, unity, and sustainable development across diverse communities.
