Rebellion against British rule

The rebellion against British rule refers to the collective efforts by Indians to challenge and end British control over India during the colonial period. This movement stemmed from discontent over economic exploitation, political restrictions, cultural suppression, and social injustices imposed by the British. Key events include the Revolt of 1857, which was a major uprising, and later, organized efforts like the Non-Cooperation Movement and Civil Disobedience led by leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi. Ultimately, these struggles united Indians across different regions and communities, fostering a strong desire for independence, which was achieved in 1947.
