Nationalist Movement in India

The Nationalist Movement in India was a collective effort during British rule to achieve independence and self-governance. It emerged from the desire of Indians to end colonial dominance and establish a nation where they could control their political, economic, and cultural affairs. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi promoted nonviolent resistance, emphasizing unity and civil disobedience, while others advocated for constitutional methods and political activism. This movement gained widespread support, uniting diverse groups across India, and ultimately led to independence in 1947. It was a significant chapter in India’s history, symbolizing national identity and the struggle for freedom.
