Resurgence of Indian Nationalism

The resurgence of Indian nationalism refers to the renewed interest and pride in India's cultural heritage, history, and identity, especially in response to colonial rule and global influences. It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as Indians sought self-governance and independence from British colonial power. Key events included the formation of national organizations, the influence of leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, and mass movements promoting unity among diverse groups. This period fostered a strong sense of unity and purpose among Indians, ultimately leading to India's independence in 1947 and shaping its national identity.
